Lake Louise, nestled in Banff National Park, Canada, is a stunning glacial lake known for its turquoise water and scenic mountain backdrop. Accessible via a 40-minute drive from the town of Banff, it is best visited from June to September for optimal weather, though winter offers ice skating and skiing opportunities. Parking can be limited, so arriving early or using public transportation is recommended. While visiting solo is feasible, booking a guided tour can enrich your experience with insights into the area's history and geology. Plan for a half-day to full-day visit to enjoy the lake’s beauty, hiking trails like the popular Plain of Six Glaciers, and possibly renting a canoe (approx. $125 CAD per hour). Entry to Banff National Park requires a pass, costing around $10 CAD per day per adult.
