1. Bask in the beauty of the turquoise lake

Once you arrive at Lake Louise, you will immediately understand why it is the most photographed site in Canada. The bluish-green colour of the lake is a magical sight to behold.
Did you know that roughly for two years from 1882 to 1884, it was called Emerald Lake thanks to its emerald-green water?

When the snow from the Lower Victoria Glacier melts, the rocks crumble into tiny particles which then get deposited at the bottom of the lake. The fine fragments reflect light which makes the lake look blue. Stop and admire the phenomenal view — the reflection of the magnificent mountains on the lake makes the panorama even more captivating.
