This is one of the most beautiful destinations to visit in Western Canada. The lake is surrounded by snow capped mountains in late June and the water is clear blue. The only problem is that everything is very expensive from the hotel to food to the boat rentals. If you are staying at the hotel, the lake and walking trail is very easy.

There are many beautiful lakes in the Jasper/Banff national park area. During our visit, we were lucky to see a number of them. While each lake has its own unique beauty and sense of place, Lake Louise seems to have the ideal combination of beauty, majesty, accessibility, and variety. That makes it unique and special we think. A visitor has so many options unlike other lakes where there is more or only nature around and less access or little options for other activities. Lake Louise of course has its grand hotel, the Fairmont Chateau with all its amenities. Behind this hotel is this majestic view of the lake. You can walk side to side on very wide paths. You can also walk up the lake sides and continue further if you so desire. Everything just seems so much more accessible. Yes, it's more civilized and user friendly. Some visitors may prefer the more natural and rugged scenery that other lake areas have. Those are great too, but this lake is special. We've had this place on our "bucket list" and so glad we spent time here taking it all in. It's exactly as we imagined and viewed online and in pictures.

Another fabulous setting for a lake with stupendous snow topped mountains around. The lake was still frozen so we went for a walk on it, a new experience for us! A little scary as it had melted on some parts near the shore

We traveled from Banff on Icefields Parkway towards Jasper. There were so many great things to see and areas to stop along the way. Although Lake Louise was beautiful and a must-see stop for what seems like everyone it wasn't our favorite. Don't get me wrong, if this was the only thing it would have rated 5 but with everything else that we saw along the way this was a 3.

We came to visit the park and this was a bucket list site. The lake is beautiful, especially with the surrounding mountains. The weather wasn’t great for us, cloudy, but can’t control that. The bad part was the overwhelming crowds. So many people everywhere.

Yep, beautiful, spoilt only by the humungous Hotel next to it! It is a stunning area, and well worth a visit. We did it by a commercial tour and got 30/40 minutes on site, which was enough for us. The issue to note if you are driving, car parking is a lottery, gets really busy. And that means the lake gets very busy and you may have to wait to get the personal photo you want. But if you are in Banff, definite place to visit.

This is very picturesque and scenic but very crowded and not at all serene. If you were inclined and had the t8me to hit the trails, I am sure it would be different. We saw plenty of places before and after that were equally as good or better, and felt those places had not been spoilt. But each to their own and many will not be put off by the negatives but concentrate on what are amazing views.

This place is stunning WOW! It’s a must if visiting Alberta. Just be aware you need to pay a park fee PLUS there is a parking fee which is around $21. You also need to get here early, we arrived at 7.30am and the first carpark was already full. The lake is beautiful though, and make sure you try to make it up to Lake Agnes at least, we completed our trip all the way to the Big Beehive then Devils Thumb. These hikes are hard and very steep with even some cliff faces but if confident please go, the views are worth it. These hikes were around 13 km return. “Jonique Life” If you find value in our reviews please consider following our social media outlets on Facebook and Instagram as we highlight magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

You need a bus reservation to go!! You don’t need to spend a lot of money, make sure you use the government website! Only $11CAD If you dont get the bus, there is a way to walk ( 10km) I parked my car behind the gas station near the visitor center >>> don’t forget to leave your printed ticket on the dashboard. It’s going to be tough to beat lake Moraine and Lake Louise. What an amazing place! Surreal I have no words to describe this experience! The trails were amazing. Be aware that Louise is way crowded than Moraine. You gonna need patience but it’s so worthy! The trail to the Tea house is amazing and full of surprises! Tough but amazing
