Review & FAQ:

Canadians call Lake Louise “the diamond in the wilderness.” It certainly does sparkle like a jewel; the lake is a bright turquoise blue-green body of water surrounded by deep shadows of the surrounding Rocky Mountains. The lake is a very popular tourist destination, and it offers endless opportunities for recreation, from kayaking and fishing on the lake to skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and even golfing in the surrounding area.

Seeing the lake from one of the zip lines or from the Banff Gondola is another unforgettable experience.
