Taking a day trip from Calgary to Lake Louse, and then on to Moraine Lake is a full day, but so worth it. Just outside the town of Lake Louse you can take a “Park and Ride” shuttle which will take you right to Lake Louse, and then on to Moraine Lake when you are ready. Our trip was early in July, with Alberta just easing its Covid restrictions. There was a fair number of people visiting, however, no where near the usual packed crowds.
A very popular activity is taking a canoe ride on the lake.
Not everyone in our party went canoeing, some went exploring. There was lots to see and a quiet place to have a snack.
The views from the dining room were spectacular.
After lunch it was time to take the shuttle to Moraine Lake. Parks Canada has set up canopies/kiosks at both the park and ride, and Lake Louise. It was staffed with very helpful people.
The shuttle only took about 10 minutes. It had been years since I had been to Moraine Lake and had forgotten just how magnificent it really is.
A walk around Moraine Lake ended at a pretty babbling ‘brook’. Then a climb up the rock pile led to a spectacular panoramic view.
I do believe Alberta has some of the most spectacular scenery in the world.
A day well spent.
