I highly recommend taking the shuttle between Moraine and Lake Louise to avoid the hassle and cost of parking, as spots fill up very quickly! πŸŽ’ What to bring: Lots of water, snacks, bear spray, bug spray, first aid kit, etc. On the Trail & At the Summit: 🐻 What to expect along on the trail: This adventure kicks off from the Lake Louise shoreline, right near the iconic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Keep an eye out for signs marking the trail’s start. I always make lots of noise while I hike to alert wildlife of my presence, and Id consider hiking with a group for added safety. πŸ”οΈ What to expect at the summit: Watching the sunrise or sunset over Lake Louise and the surrounding peaks is a truly magical experience. Unfortunately we had to do it in the later afternoon but still was amazing! Is Lake Louise and Banff National Park on your bucket list?!
