Me three? I haven’t heard of it either.
I’ve never heard of it, but I could also probably BARELY point to Croatia at all on a map without reading and I am far better at Geography than most people I know lol
Hehe, I was being sarcastic there.

High over the Rockies?

Clue #2:
Climb to a border peak - say around 2, 637m or so & look down.
Lake Louise has the right altitude but is not on the border, and none of those lakes look like the lake I remember with the chateau.
Fun fact: Lake Louise is just east of the border between BC and Alberta. The Great Divide demarks the border between the two provinces through the Rockies, from the 120th meridian to the US border.
That’s not Lake Louise though. The topography isn’t correct.
I should add that tourists also often refer to everything between Alberta and the Pacific coast as “The Rockies”, but the Rockies are only the easternmost chain. West of the Rocky Mountain trench are the Columbia Mountains and west of those are the Coast Mountains.

Yup, wrong lake. Edit:but you got the right park!
Clue #3:
Moose probably browse along a lake nearby…
There’s a “Moose Lake” on the Fraser river, near the Great Divide , about 200 km north of Lake Louise, but that runs counter to it being the right park. That Moose Lake is across the border from Jasper National Park, not Banff.
Clue #4:
You can’t see it in the picture, but there is a very large Fox about 23 miles away from the five lakes.
The clues have me confused. Mount Terry Fox isn’t far from Moose lake, but both are still a long way from Lake Louise and Banff National Park…
@LKFKP: This is what comes of relying on memories that are more than 40 years old. Lake Louise is indeed in Banff, not Jasper as I had ‘remembered’. I’ll be forgetting my own name next {Sigh}. Looking at bing maps, what I was actually remembering was Lac Beauvert.
So, just follow the yellow brick road… Oh, wait - it’s not actually made of bricks. Pretty sure it’s still yellow, though…
Overhead Mt. O’Bierne, just north of Yellowhead pass on the Yellowhead Highway, with the nose of the aircraft pointing south towards said pass? Mt Robson would be behind the aircraft.
And while Mt.Robson at just under 13000 feet is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, it isn’t the highest peak in Canada (or even British Columbia). The honor of highest peak in BC falls to Mt. Fairweather on the BC/Alaska border at about 15200 feet. The highest peak in Canada is Mt Logan in the Yukon, at about 19500 feet. Mt Fairweather and Mt Logan are in the St. Elias mountains. Some of BC’s Coast Mountains are also taller than the Rockies. The highest peak in BC’s Coast Mountains is Mt. Waddington at about 13200 feet tall.

@LKFJP: You got it! 
This was my route past the lakes:
And the satellite image. The lakes are in the TOE Improvement district, I guess. The lake by the Yellowhead highway 16 is Moose Lake:
It’s a very scenic area to fly over. This is heading west, after I flew over the lakes:
OK LKFJP, you’re up for the next pic! 
It’s even prettier in real life. I have spent a lot of time hiking, skiing and climbing around there. I even once saw a moose (a.k.a “swamp donkey”) thundering across the swamp at the end of Moose lake. The game’s rounded mountains don’t do the real cragginess of the real ones justice. Hopefully MSFS2024 will see an improvement in that regard.
I will post the next one later.
