Itinerary description

<<< English follows >>> Después de unos catorce kilómetros en coche desde el pueblo de Lake Louise se llega al parking de Moraine Lake. Es un lugar abarrotado de gente que se acerca a ver el lago Moraine. Esta ruta es el camino que bordea dicho lago. Es absolutamente plana y sin ninguna dificultad pero permite ver los Ten Peaks desde abajo. Esta vista sí merece la pena: son diez tresmiles uno a continuación de otro. Originalmente los Ten Peaks se llamaban “Uno”, “Dos”, etc en idioma indio nativo pero de esos diez nombres sólo se han mantenido el “Nueve (Neptuak)” y el “Diez (Wenkchemna)”. El color del agua es espectacular y es consecuencia del tipo de roca de las montañas. Los conos de roca fragmentada desprendida de las paredes de las montañas son impresionantes. <<< English >>> After about fourteen kilometers drive from the village of Lake Louise you reach the parking of Moraine Lake. It is crowded of people who come to see Lake Moraine. This route is the road along this lake. It is absolutely flat and without any difficulty but lets see Ten Peaks from below. This viewpoint itself is worth: ten three-thousand-meters-high peaks one after another. originally, the Ten Peaks were called "One", "Two", etc. in native Indian language but only the "Nine (Neptuak)" and the "Ten (Wenkchemna)" have remained. The water color is spectacular and is a consequence of the type of rock of the mountains. The cones of fragmented rock detached from the walls of the mountains are stunning.
