Lake Louise & Moraine Lake
Lake Louise, about an hour's drive from Canmore, is one of the most photographed lakes in the world. Its turquoise waters set against the Victoria Glacier create a scene that must be seen to be believed. Walk along the lakeshore, hike to the Lake Agnes Tea House, or simply take in the view. Nearby Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks is equally stunning. Note that Moraine Lake Road requires a shuttle reservation in peak season -- plan ahead for the smoothest visit. Both lakes are at their most vivid from late June through September.
