When Tom Wilson went there the next morning, he found a beautiful lake surrounded by majestic Rocky mountains, with snow-capped peaks and bright green forests on the picturesque slopes. He later recalled: "for a while we sat in silence, unable to take our eyes off the brilliant beauty of the landscape that unfolded at the glittering glacier."This lake is one of the most beautiful places in Canada.

It is a famous tourist resort and recreation centre.A variety of hiking trails exist around the lake. Hiking trails include trips to Saddleback Pass, Fairview Mountain, Mirror Lake, Lake Agnes, Big Beehive, Little Beehive, Devils Thumb, Mount Whyte, and Mount Niblock.
