Wake to crisp mountain air and head to two of the most photographed lakes in the world. Lake Louise stuns with its legendary turquoise waters and backdrop of the Victoria Glacier — a view that simply cannot be fully captured in any photograph. A short drive brings you to Moraine Lake, cradled by the Valley of the Ten Peaks, where the color of the water shifts from deep teal to brilliant azure depending on the season and light.
