Why are Lake Menglian and Lake Lois in Canada called "sapphires of the Rocky Mountains"?

Because the water in these two lakes contains mineral gravel flowing down from glaciers, over time, the lakes will accumulate into blue-green and blue colors, and the scenery of both lakes is extremely beautiful, so they are called "sapphires of the Rocky Mountains".

Let's talk about Menglian Lake, which is recognized as the most valuable lake in the world. Many landscape photographers come here to take pictures of the lake. Especially at the end of June every year, the lake will rise to the highest line, reflecting the rock powder deposited at the bottom of the lake, which will present a beautiful blue-green color. And it is surrounded by mountains, more like a little-known gem in the valley, waiting for people to discover its beauty.

The most convenient way to get to Menglian Lake is to cross a 300-meter-long stone path, and then you can climb to a height of 24 meters to enjoy the lake view. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Menglian Lake is also used as the back pattern of the $20 bill.

Let's talk about Lake Louis. Also surrounded by rolling mountains, it is located in Banff National Park, and its name is Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar from England. Surrounded by mountains and forest trees, the blue Lake Louise is like a beautiful sapphire hidden in the mountains. Compared with Menglian Lake, Lake Louise is more famous and more people come here to play. There is also a hotel next to it, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while having afternoon tea.

In addition, there are boating events in Lake Louis. Imagine the fun of boating on the lake. That must be very enjoyable! Perhaps because there are more tourists, the water in Lake Louise is not as clean and clear as that in Lake Menglian. If you like the lively atmosphere, then Lake Louise will be a better choice. If you want to enjoy the quiet, go to Menglian Lake!
