1Lake Louise
Named Ho-run-num-nay (Lake of the Little Fishes) by the Stoney Nakota First Nations people. This glacially fed lake offers some of the most stunning views in the Canadian Rockies and is also home to the Chateau Lake Louise. Chateau Lake Louise is a world-renowned mountain resort and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Banff National Park, Alberta. Known as the “Diamond in the Wilderness,” the chateau was built beginning in the late 1800s, and was developed as part of the CPR’s network of hotels. It shares a lineage with the Banff Springs Hotel, Le Chateau Frontenac in Québec City and the Empress Hotel in Victoria. Considering its remote location and its eventual scale, the Chateau Lake Louise marked an important point in the development of the Canadian West. Reference: The Canadian Encyclopedia © 2023

3Emerald Lake
Emerald Lake is a freshwater lake located in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. Named by early mountaineering guides because of its extraordinary colour. Glaciers once covered this area and as the ice retreats, their meltwaters pick up a variety of sedimentary materials and carry it downstream to depressions surrounded by glacial debris, creating glacier-water lakes like this. The green or turqoise colour is from the finely ground-up rock flour suspended in the water: the scattering effect which the suspended particles has on the light, combined with the reflection of blue sky, gives the water its remarkable blue-green colour.
