The film begins with a man picking a flower with the impressive scenery of Bow Lake and Glacier rising up behind him. Connected to these are Bow River, and Crowfoot, one of the many glaciers in the Bow River valley. A series of shots shows off the scenery of the lakes, mountains and trees. Also found in this area is Chateau Lake Louise, shown in a long pan. The viewer is shown a couple enjoying the view and food in the Chateau's dining room, and later looking at the scenery through a telelscope. A woman plays "He loves me - not" with a daisy, and then the film shows many "glimpses" of life on and about Lake Louise, including rowing, hiking and riding in the mountains, and many impressive vistas from a high altitude. <5mn 27s>Language:Silent with English intertitlesOriginal number:1147Notes:Genre:TRAVELOGUEDetailed holdings information: -
