The Canadian Rockies & Lake Louise

,
Canada has a lot to offer in the way of travel destinations. From coast to coast there are new places to visit and new horizons to see. If you travel to Canada, one place you really don't want to miss is the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Lake Louise is situated in Banff National Park in the Province of Alberta. It is known as Canada's "Diamond in the Wilderness," and the "Hiking Capital of Canada". You will notice the tremendous diversity of recreational and sightseeing vistas when you visit here. It is home to one of North America's finest downhill ski areas, and has numerous hiking and walking trails. The scenery is spectacular with the lake snuggled in between the mountains, and the region abounds with other fantastic views from glaciers to waterfalls.

The mountains themselves are gorgeous enough to suit any visitor. High, rocky and snow-capped peaks jut into an overwhelming clear blue sky that is a viewer's (and photographer's) delight.

The Village of Lake Louise is on the Trans-Canada Highway 57 kilometers (35 miles) west of Banff, and is easily accessible from Calgary. This quiet, small village offers a range of travel amenities, fabulous dining opportunities and accommodations.

If you want to see a truly awe-inspiring sight, Lake Louise will not let you down. One fun activity is canoeing on the lake and being engulfed by the majestic mountains surrounding you. It is an event you won't soon forget!
