It’s breathtaking! Easy unsubscribe links are provided in every email. There is a sign there pointing towards Skoki Lodge. Dogs are also able to use this trail. More interesting, however, is the vast basin of larches to the south and east of it. Thank you for your support. It was fine. After 45-60 minutes of hiking you will reach the end of the fire road. Take a right, and follow the signs. Amazing! Check out the Moraine Lake hike, Plain of the 6 Glaciers hike or the Skoki Lakes Hike. plenty of elevation variance and a lot to just take in and appreciate. Set out nicely from the snowy background. Continue on the trail as it crosses ski runs and goes above Temple Lodge (which is roughly 100m below the route on the left). For many, especially on the way in, there is the option of camping at the Marvel Lake Campground or booking a night at the Bryant Creek Shelter. Except for the official Boulder Pass Trail, these trails are exposed to avalanche hazard and travel is not recommended from mid-October through to mid-June. From Ptarmigan Lake, go right instead of following the main path on the left-hand side of the lake (which goes to Packers Pass and Deception Pass). It’s also a whole lot less busy then other popular larch hikes. The food is good and there are rarely waits at the restaurants at Lake Louise. One part of the loop is obviously made for vehicles, so heading counter-clockwise is advised. Expect to be passed by trucks or vans heading up to ferry Skoki passengers to the top of the fire road or maintenance staff to work on the ski hill. Despite its deceptive name (pardon the pun), this trail does not loop around Pass Lake. Instead, it’s better to just take the regular route back to the Lake Louise Ski Resort. The lake is pretty amazing. if you have small kids..you'd end up carrying them. Redoubt Lake isn’t far away, in fact it is only about 800m from Ptarmigan Lake, while it gains about 80m.

Heart Lake via South Boulder Creek Trail is a 9.6 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Rollinsville, Colorado that features a lake and is rated as difficult.

I hiked the 8.5 km Larch Valley Trail at Moraine Lake on the morning of September 28, 2020 (did not go all the way to Sentinel Pass). This would make for a short and fun backpacking trip and allow you to explore Redoubt and Hidden Lake as well and make it two much easier days, as opposed to one long day. Not exactly scenic, but we literally saw nobody the whole time we were there, so totally perfect for COVID times. There is a campsite at Hidden Lake (SK5) with 10 tent pads. The Donner Pass train tunnels are fun for the whole family, particularly younger kids who find playing in the dark thrilling. The first part of the hike goes up the fire road around the Lake Louise Ski Hill. @Ted It totally was and the early season snow just added to the ambiance. It is a lovely place to visit, especially during Autumn. Become a Contributor at 10Adventures and share your adventures! Head to the Lake Louise Ski Resort on Whitehorn Drive.

Helicopter in and from what I was told you have to stay at the Naiset Huts or Assiniboine Lodge to do this, backpack in from the Sunshine Valley Ski Resort or hike in from the Mount Shark Trailhead. Hike into Lillian Lake, set up your tent and then explore the Galatea Lakes and Guinn’s Pass. The hike up the fire-road is a tedious part of this trip. For part of this hike, you are in Banff National Park so you do need to have a park pass if you sleep in the park – at one of the shelters.
