Super cool hike and at the end of trail a tea house! What could be better... maybe flushing toilet but that would be asking a lot! It was a great short hike with amazing views all the way. Value 5/5 Atmosphere 5/5 Service 4/5 Quality 5/5 19/20

This review is for Lake Agnes not the tea house. Lake Agnes is a small mountain lake located 3.5 km or 2.2 miles away from Lake Louise. Elevation gain from Lake Louise to Lake Agnes is approximately 310 meters or 1,000 feet. The trail leading to the lake is pretty congested during the summer season, with many visitors making the hike up to see this lake in the middle of the mountain. The hike is quite strenuous and steep at some points, but well worth it to see this breathtaking view. If you have the time, take this hike up to Lake Agnes and you won't be disappointed.

Is about 2 hours hike from Lake Louise. Is very beautiful up here.

Don't miss this wonderful spot. Beautiful lake. Takes about 2 hours to hike from Lake Louise. From Lake Agnes, you may hike all the way up to the Big Beehives to see everything on top.

Hiking to Bow Glacier Falls is a straightforward and worthwhile way to spend half the day exploring…read morein the Canadian Rockies. I wouldn't put it at the top of my To-Do List, but if you have plenty of time, then experiencing Bow Glacier Falls can be rewarding. First off, Bow Glacier Falls is located around the bend of Bow Lake right off Icefields Parkway. Simply park in the lot and walk towards the Bow Lake Lodge and the trailhead is situated behind the lodge. Interesting note...you can view Bow Falls from a distance right when you're starting off on the trail. Also, when the sun is shining brightly while walking, Bow Lake can reflect colorful images which enhances the hiking journey. Btw...the hike to arrive at the waterfall is 4.6 kilometers or 2.85 miles. I'd classify it as a moderate pathway, but appropriate for all families. Also nice about the trail is that it's barely elevated. You walk around the lake for the first 1/3rd portion and then you do a little climbing in the back half section. Bow Glacier Falls is 150 meters or 500 foot tall waterfall and has some cascading action happening where the water splashes over itself and lends towards a photogenic appearance. While heading towards the falls, you'll be trudging on top of rocks. It's a little bumpy so to speak. Pretty much though, it's choose your own adventure in arriving there. You have plenty of personal space for deciding how best to capture the sights of Bow Glacier Falls. I veered off to the right as after the initial drop, the cliff faced wall sort of obstructs views from the left hand side. But, lol, that's just me being particular about my picture taking. I noticed some hikers not even getting on top of the falls and instead just sitting down and appreciating the scenery from far away. Overall, Bow Glacier Falls is really efficient in getting to participate in quality hiking while enjoying lakeside and waterfall panoramas. I left here feeling a sense of accomplishment.

The iconic landmark in Banff that everyone has to see! However since we came in early March, the…read morelake was frozen over and was a winter wonderland! Although we didn't get to see the clear blue waters of the lake, this was an entirely new view that was just as memorable! Note: You need a Banff Park Pass to enter! You can buy it online or at the booths when you get to the entrance of the park. - PARKING - We parked in the lot right next to the lake as directed by the parking attendants there. There's a lodge with bathrooms in the same parking lot too! You simply walk into the tree area, about 3 minutes, and you'll see the sign of Lake Louise and the lake beyond it! - EXPERIENCE - There are signs of thin ice, but there were so many people walking, running, and even sliding on the lake! We had shoe grips on just in case, which I think were nice to have as we walked - felt very sturdy! I did see other people without grips and they just had to walk a bit slower. They also had an ice rink and snow bar outside! - OVERALL - A beautiful sight to see, even in the wintertime!

Coming to Lake Louise was a last-minute addition on my first trip to Banff National Park. I could…read morenot come all the way here and not see this beautiful lake. Lake Louise is a turquoise-colored glacial lake that is surrounded by high peaks in Alberta's Banff National Park. It is a popular destination for tourists and outdoor enthusiasts. Lake Louise is known for its hiking trails, skiing and canoeing. Lake Louise is 30 minutes west of the Town of Banff. Parking here can be a real pain during peak season. Thankfully I was on a bus that dropped us off at the front. I came here during the summer and the crowds were crazy. But it was so worth it to finally see this lake in person. The water is crystal clear and has a greenish-blue color to it and is surrounded by a mountain range. Lake Louise lake's color is a result of natural geological processes and not artificially enhanced. In the distance you can see the Victoria Glacier. Lake Louise is named after Princess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria. The historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is located at the edge of the lake and offers beautiful views for those that stay there. There are several hiking trails around the lake. I ended up walking the nature trail for a little while to get photos of the lake at different angles. It was hard to get clear shots because there were so many people. But I really enjoyed my time exploring the surrounding area. Coming to Lake Louise was totally worth it and a highlight for me on my trip to Banff National Park. Entry to Lake Louise requires a Banff National Park entry fee or pass. It is highly recommended to ride the shuttle here as parking is limited.
