Description
Anyone who visits Lake Louise won't miss Mt Victoria and Victoria Glacier. The mountain rises almost 5000 feet higher than Lake Louise, and sits directly behind the lake if you are looking from the left side of Chateau Lake Louise. Mt Victoria is on the Continental Divide, and is the highest peak in the area. It should be a tough climb because is is snow- and ice-covered year-round, along with a big glacier.
Thanks to Dale Kolsan for this description.
