Moraine Lake and Lake Louise are both world-famous, Canadian icons. They are symbolic of the spirit of our nation: vast, beautiful, rugged, and approachable. The Valley of the Ten Peaks, which frames Moraine Lake, is picturesque. There are few, if any, spots on earth more breathtaking. Likewise, Lake Louise with the Victoria Glacier behind it is a jewel in Canada's crown. Nearby the Lake Louise Ski Area is world-famous for its terrain and the annual World Cup races it hosts.
The Banff Springs Golf Course is world-famous, as well. Designed by Stanley Thompson, who is a legendary architect, it is one of the few Canadian courses to be featured on video games, such as Tiger Woods Golf, and to host significant tournaments and skins games. Not many courses can say that the majority of the gallery is made up of wild deer and elk.
