ABOUT LAKE LOUISE Lake Louise is world famous for its turquoise lakes, the Victoria Glacier, soaring mountain backdrop, palatial hotel, and incredible hiking and skiing. Surrounded by a lifetime’s worth of jaw-dropping sights and adventures, Lake Louise is a rare place that must be experienced to be believed. The vibrant waters of Lake Louise are five kilometers (three miles) from the hamlet of Lake Louise. Named for Queen Victoria’s fourth daughter, Lake Louise is a truly awe-inspiring sight. The lake was previously known as Ho-Run-Num-Nay (the Lake of Lake of Little Fishes) by the Stoney Nakoda First Nations people. The hanging Victoria Glacier and an amphitheater of rugged peaks provide an imposing backdrop to the lake, which is about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) long and 90 meters (295 feet) deep. During the summer the lake is an intense shade of turquoise, the result of light refracting off the rock flour (glacier silt) deposited in the lake by glacier run off. The color of the lake is most vibrant in July and August when the flow of the melt water is at its highest. At an elevation of 1,750 meters (5,740 feet), Lake Louise normally thaws in June.
