Lake Louise is one of the highlights of any trip to the Canadian Rockies. It was the busiest (and one of the most beautiful) places we visited during our 9-day adventure. We had planned on going for a short walk around Lake Louise and ended up on a more than 2-hour hike into the mountains. We just kept pushing ourselves to go "just a little bit further" in search of a better view. When you see the beautiful location that we ended up at, you can understand why this is considered one of the most beautiful places in Banff National Park.
