#mytraveldiary Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Alberta — what it is, why it’s famous, what you can do there, and tips to help you plan a trip.

The lake is very close to the Community of Lake Louise (village) and lies roughly 55‑65 km west of the Town of Banff. Iconic Scenery: Turquoise glacial water, mountain backdrops like Victoria Glacier, and often picturesque reflections in calm weather.

There are trails, facilities, lodgings (like the Fairmont Chateau), and shops in the nearby village.
