Lake Louise, named Lake of the Little Fishes by the Stoney Nakota First Nations people, is a glacial lake within Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. Lake Louise is named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848–1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria. The turquoise colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake. Founded in 1890 as Laggan Station, Lake Louise was once a wild outpost at the end of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
Parking is limited at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake and fills quickly during daylight hours, so planning ahead is key. Park your car and ride Roam Transit or Parks Canada shuttles from the Town of Banff to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Make the most of your visit to Banff National Park by using shuttles and transit. This was the most crowded experience I had on my adventures so far.

That’s where we spent our two week honeymoon. Banff and Jasper. I remember we found a tea hut in the woods.

Very cool. Was it as crowded then? It was hard to enjoy it cheek to jowl with the throngs. Where did you stay?
