Description

Photograph of Lake Louise and Victoria Glacier, as viewed from the lawn at Chateau Lake Louise. The hotel grounds sprawl across the foreground. A walkway curves slightly as it stretches on an upward angle from the lower left corner to the right. Beyond it, a landscaped lawn extends from the path and back towards Lake Louise. Pines and other vegetation are clustered together at left and a lawn extends from that at center and right. Lake Louise sits behind the lawn in the mid-ground. At the far end of the lake, Victoria Glacier is visible at center. It sits behind a couple mountains that rise in front and to both sides of the glacier, framing it.
