Today was a pretty easy day, after 2 days of strenuous hiking, I needed one! We headed to Lake Louise which has to be one of the most popular spots in the park. We got there early to try and avoid some of the crowds and did a short hike along the shore of the lake. Lake Louise is known for its beautiful green color which is caused by the glacial silt in the lake. At the far end of the lake is Victoria Glacier, its glacial melt is the source of Lake Louise. The Chateau Lake Louise is also located on the shores of Lake Louise (a little bit out of our price range, $600+ per night). Tomorrow we are off to the Ice Fields and a hike to Bow Glacier Falls.
