turquoise Lake Louise


Indescribably gorgeous, Lake Louise is an iconic symbol of the beauty of Banff National Park in Canada.

I will be writing more about this lake at a later date.  My husband and I hiked the Plain of the Six Glaciers Trail (which is in the back middle of this photograph) just below Victoria Glacier, now one of my all-time favorite hikes.  The beauty along this trail is stunning.

    Isn't Lake Louise just the most beautiful place to visit and hike? Hubby and I were there in June just before the flooding. The water was like glass. Pure heaven I think!
    Happy October my friend!

    We went canoeing on Lake Louise, and I must admit the first time I looked down into the water I was a little nervous. The lake water from the glaciers is a coloidal (sp?) suspension and you can see nothing but turquoise "milk." I hoped Rod know how to paddle a canoe! What a beautiful photo!!!!!

    Isn't it just one of the most beautiful sights?! Once seen, the colour of the water is imprinted forever - I don't think there's anything like it anywhere else.
