Lake Louise and Glacier

Lake Louise is a hamlet located in the Canadian province of Alberta in Banff National Park. It is named for the nearby Lake Louise, which in turn was named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848-1939), the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, and the wife of Sir John Campbell, who was the Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883.

Lake Louise is more famous than Lake Moraine as the railway comes here and there is also a very large and expensive hotel on the shores of the lake. Many people come to visit this lake and never discover the far more beautiful Lake Moraine. The water does not have the same intense colours, that some of the other lakes have.
