It really feels like a fairy tale here.

It's so incredibly beautiful here! You can truly disappear into nature.

One of Canada's most famous locations, Lake Louise (known in the Stoney Nakoda language as Ho-run-num-nay, meaning “Lake of the Little Fishes”) shines with its glacier-fed turquoise waters. The lake serves as a base for hiking, summer canoeing, and winter skiing. With limited parking and shuttle options required during peak season, planning ahead will turn a visit into a memorable encounter with one of the Rockies’ most iconic landscapes. As others have mentioned, it does get very busy, so arriving early is a great way to beat the crowds and enjoy a bit of solitude along the shoreline.

The guides also call the lake Elchsee 🫎… so moose encounters are not uncommon there.

A bit crowded but still a nice stop

I have done this at the end of July. While it is as everybody describes, easy to the lower falls and not super hard to the upper falls, it was extremely crowded and it felt more like cattle drive up there. I suggest do this very early in the morning or evening there is probably less traffic.

Delicious tea, sandwiches, and soup. A wonderful place to recover from the climb.
