Travel Alberta - Lake Louise

Enjoy Lake Louise and Beyond  by Bari Demers

Traveling Alberta is a must when visiting Canada. Just last week we decided to stop at Lake Louise in Banff National Park, of course Alberta. After visiting family in British Columbia, our usual route headed directly home due to our schedule, but this time,we had a couple days to explore Lake Louise just a little closer than before.

Lake Louise 

Lake Louise is nestled within a scenic valley of mountainous peaks, showcasing a clear turquoise glacier lake named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta in 1884. Overlooking the emerald Lake Louise is the famous Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Hotel, boasting a five-star experience.

We took to the lake shore memorized by the beauty and awe inspiring picturesque glacier in the distance combined with the brilliance of the bluish green waters. It was obvious our next step was to explore Lake Louise itself by paddling along in a canoe, enjoying the peaceful tranquility of nature. 

Pushing off the shoreline, it wasn't hard to observe the depths of the icy crystal clear lake or spotting rainbow trout swimming at their leisure.It didn't matter how icy the water was, the warm summer weather tempted us to dip our feet, feeling this invigorating surge of freshness.

After a long slumbering canoe ride we treated ourselves at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise to a fine dining experience at their four diamond Fairview Dining Room offering tantalizing morsels of Yukon Gold Potato wrapped in crispy wild prawns and mouth-watering seared duck breast in a szechaun peppercorn jus. We couldn't resist the warm liquid centered Chocolate Cake with spiced pineapple carpaccio and raspberry puree.

The National Parks of Canada offer a wild wilderness setting with outdoor adventures to suit anyone.

 If we had more time, we certainly would have taken a heli-tour over the majestic Lake Louise.

I highly recommend your next stop at Lake Louise with the Banff National Park of Alberta,Canada. Traveling Alberta is a sweet memorable experience you will cherish forever.
