Under the sunlight, the lake's water, rich in minerals, reflects a mesmerizing deep blue. The towering Victoria Glacier embraces the lake on three sides, resembling a piece of jade scattered in the mountains, earning it the title of "The Sapphire of the Rockies." Turning back from the lakeside, the [Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise] stands quietly among the pine forest, awaiting visitors. Afterward, climb to the top of the trail to view [Moraine Lake].
