Situated within Banff National Park lies one of the most scenic vistas in the Canadian Rockies, Lake Louise. Sitting at an elevation of 5,690 ft (1731 m), the icy blue green waters of Lake Louise reflect the surrounding mountain peaks and the Victoria glacier. It is the silt and rock flour that is carried by the glacier’s melt waters that give the lake its incredible colour.
