About this experience
Lake Louise, known as the "Rocky Mountain Emerald Gem," is icy and extraordinary. It is also the most popular photography location for photographers in North America. The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise by the lakeside is like a beautiful mural, preserving the Victorian architectural style since the 18th century
Moraine Lake located in the famous Ten Peaks, where the bottom of the lake is filled with mineral rich gravel. Surrounded by a jagged valley of ten peaks, it is exquisite and beautiful, like a precious jade. And this "national treasure" was also printed on Canadian 20 dollar bills in 1969 and 1979.
