In 1916, the American artist John Singer Sargent famously
painted Lake O’Hara from this spot, since known as
Sargent’s Point. It
continues to be a favourite location for painters almost one hundred years later.
From here you can see one of the most perfect settings inthe Rockies – the other side of Mount Victoria and Mount
Lefroy which form the backdrop for Lake Louise.
In a way, Lake O’Hara
is the mirror image of Lake Louise… except it
is much smaller, about 1000 feet higher, and a much deeper green.
