Lake Louise Hike



The beginning of the 'adventure' on the shores of Lake Louise

For our last day in Lake Louise we planned another one of our 'mega' hikes and combined 3 trails to make a loop around Lake Louise. We started at Chateau Lake Louise, taking the Plain of the Six Glaciers Trail to a high mountain teahouse and then continued on above the timberline to the best views of glaciers and vaulting peaks yet. From there we took the Highline Trail over to Lake Agnes which also has a teahouse on its shore. (Plenty of opportunities for tea with stunning views!) The Lake Agnes Trail returned us back to the shores of Lake Louise and our starting point in front of the Chateau.
