No Experience Required

Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were popularized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as rail and hotel development brought tourists; Lake Louise was named for Princess Louise, and Moraine Lake takes its name from the glacial moraine that shapes its basin.

Conservation

Banff National Park manages visitor flow to protect fragile alpine environments—stay on designated paths, avoid disturbing shorelines, and pack out all trash to limit erosion and wildlife disturbance.
