Lake Louise: A Sapphire in the Rockies, but the experience during peak season is 'the lake is beautiful, but there are too many people'

I am a travel blogger and global traveler, please follow me! (Published the 1744th original travel photo in 1012 cities across 57 countries/regions on 5 continents) Lake Louise is the main attraction of Banff National Park and the most well-known one. It takes just over an hour to drive from Banff town to get there. Lake Louise seems like an emerald dropped into the Rocky Mountains, stunningly beautiful. It is shielded by the graceful Victoria Glacier, with mountains and water complementing each other, like a perfect painting. The water of Lake Louise comes from the Victoria Glacier, making it clear and green, hence it is known as the 'Sapphire of the Rockies'. Since Victoria Mountain is located on the west side of Lake Louise, it is best to arrive before 8 am. First, it is said that the water surface sparkles at sunrise, like a fairyland. Second, there are few parking spaces in the scenic area, and if you arrive late, you will have to wait for a parking spot. Additionally, it is best to avoid the peak season in July and August. The experience of visiting Lake Louise during this time will be 'the lake is beautiful, but there are too many people'. It is difficult to squeeze to the lakeside, and it is crowded with people shoulder to shoulder. Taking a beautiful photo by the lake will be very difficult, and renting a boat to row on the lake will be a luxury.
