A beautiful turquoise lake sitting at the top end of the hill. The hike up is about 30 minutes. Easy walk even for kids and elderly, the road is not very sloped but it is unpaved so wear your good hiking boots and gears.
This is one of my favorite hiking/lakes in the Canmore area because it's usually not that crowded but there is enough traffic you don't feel you are the only group.
Not the easiest hike but well worth it. There are many viewpoints as you go up and it gets better and better. The lake itself is unique with vibrant shades of green and blue
Beautiful lakes with many spots for people to sit down and relax or even have picnics. There were a couple of ladies trying to swim here, but it seems the water is still too cold. The view of the waterfall is gorgeous as well.
I just started getting interested in hiking and this trail is good for those just starting out. The nature here is incredible, so you should definitely check it out.
A must-do for visitors looking for scenic views and a healthy hike. We have a variety of fitness levels in our family (nice way to say that I'm out-of-shape and a little on the heavy side)... but the trails were manageable and had some lower impact options. Views were amazing: waterfalls, teal pools, rocky cliffs...lots of photos and memories. A few steep edges with long falls so keep a good eye on adventuresome kids.
Stunning views, waterfall, and trekking are the main attractions. I loved the colorful lake and trekking route. If you wish to introduce kids to trekking, this is the best place to do it.
Such a beautiful hike. Definitely worth going up as high as you can to see the views. We did the lower and upper hike so got to see the waterfall, lakes and the rock climbers. Utterly stunning. Definitely wear good hiking boots.
We have had the pleasure of visiting this place on multiple occasions throughout the year, and each visit has been consistently incredible.
Our preferred route involves taking the upper trail to reach the destination and then the interpretive trail on the way back. This combination allows us to enjoy a decent view of the waterfall during our return hike. The trail itself is relatively easy, spanning a short distance of 1.7 kilometers each way. It is suitable for both pets and kids, making it a family-friendly experience.
One aspect we appreciate is that the trail tends to have a sufficient number of fellow hikers, so we never feel isolated or lonely during our journey.
The lake in this area is a true gem, boasting crystal-clear waters and an exceptionally beautiful scenery. The pristine clarity of the lake adds to its overall charm, making it a sight to behold.
Overall, our experiences at this place have been consistently wonderful, no matter the time of year. The accessible and enjoyable hike, coupled with the stunning beauty of the lake, make it a destination we highly recommend exploring.
