Trip Moments Recommendations

Moraine Lake is arguably one of the most beautiful places in the world. Blue-green water that looks like it couldn’t be real and snow capped peaks. The Moraine Lake area also has several amazing hikes that all begin at its shores. Consolation Lakes, Mount Temple and Larch Valley are just a few of the options available. Don’t forget you can also canoe here as well! #canada #banff #lake #reflection

These were all taken over a morning at Moraine. We got there to see the stars at night. Then it got super cloudy as blue hour stared, before clearing a little bit for golden hour. Can you spot the rainbow? #awesomepic

By far, the prettiest lake I've been to is Moraine Lake out in Banff. Because the lakes in Banff are such a tourist attraction, you truly need to time your visits so that you arrive around sunrise when the crowds are at a minimum and parking is available. One of the activities that people enjoy doing while in Banff is kayaking on the lakes. The cost is around $100 for about an hour of kayaking on a beautiful blue glacial lake! Banff is quite expensive to stay in. You can also look at nearby Canmore as a place to stay to save some money! #banff #calgary #alberta #morainelake #rockymountains

Have you ever seen water this blue? Moraine Lake is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful spots on Earth. What makes the lake this color? Silt, which comes from the glaciers! It's essentially "rock flour" that catches sunlight and makes the water appear brilliantly blue. Travel tip: This lake is only open for 5 months in the summer!

Beautiful Blues in Banff National Park. Is Canada on your bucketlist yet? Lake Morraine is a must-see!

Moraine Lake is very easy to get to. Seeing the lake doesn't require any hiking unless you want to get to a higher vantage point. Then there are several logs to cross and big rock pile to climb up.

Another favourite lake of mine is Moraine Lake. This lake is surrounded by an imposing mountainous backdrop that will take your breath away!

Moraine Lake, Banff National Park - Canada: Another lake with stunning view with cystsl clear blue water. This is a must to go for those who plan to explore Banff National Park. You will fall in love with this Canadian Rockies view. 🗻🗻🗻

The lake is greenish and peaceful… it made me want to visit once a year. It can still see the snowy Rocky Mountain in summer there too. What a beautiful scene I saw!

The magical Lake Moraine in Alberta Canada

This lake is unbelievable. The most gorgeous i have ever seen in my entire life so far. If you go Alberta, don’t miss to visit this lake. I could stare here forever and will not get tired of this beauty. You can go by taking the all day pass and by bus. That’s the only cheapest way to go. Otherwise you have to go hike. You can’t drive private cars going to Lake Moraine. They won’t allow maybe because of parking issues. #lake #morainelake #alberta #canada

Banff itinerary 💙

🇨🇦Moraine Lake sunset hike to the Rockpiles (very easy and short uphill hike with a wonderful view of the lake) 🇨🇦Lake Louise for sunrise 🇨🇦Little Beehive or Big Beehive hike (in my opinion the view from Little Beehive is better and the hike is also shorter). There are also horseback riding tours which go there 🌲 🇨🇦Canoeing on Moraine Lake. It’s better to do it in the morning because you get to take pictures with canoes in the water with a beautiful mountain reflection. You also get to canoe while there is no wind as they shut down if it becomes to windy, which usually happens later in the day 🛶 🇨🇦Johnston Canyon to Ink pots hike. You pass 2 waterfalls and get to a beautiful valley with glacier lakes and ice cold river in the end of the hike. It’s definitely worth it to get to the end - putting my feet in the ice cold river was a highlight of this trip 😅 🇨🇦Peyto lake for sunset. Easy parking and there is an observation deck as well as a short trail to get under it and watch the lake with no people 🇨🇦Downtown Banff and Canmore are pretty cute and have a lot of good restaurants and shops. Our favorite were: the Wood, Banff flatbread and co, Graze and Old school bus ice cream 🍦

Banff NP lakes transportation tips 🇨🇦

🌲 Lake Louise: there are two parking lots and way more space than on Moraine lake. For the sunrise we arrived at 4:45am and there was plenty of space, however, I think it fills up pretty quickly after the sunrise and it might be not that easy to find a spot after 7am. 🌲 Moraine Lake: the worst parking situation is on Moraine lake. Parking lot sign says it’s full all the time even before 5am and parking attendants would not let you in until 30 cars leave the parking lot even though the parking lot is half empty. We were able to get in for sunset at around 9pm after making one more circle and trying again. I think the only way to get there in the morning is to use the shuttle (see below). 🌲 Peyto Lake: the least crowded of them all and almost empty parking lake for sunset. 🚌 There are two shuttle options to get to the lakes: Parks Canada shuttle which goes from a Park and Ride parking lot near lake Louise ski area and Roam bus which goes from Banff. Tickets need to be booked well in advance but there is a free cancellation option which makes it easier.

stunning view

➤ Moraine Lake is a glacially fed lake in Banff National Park, 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) outside the village of Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. It is situated in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, at an elevation of approximately 1,884 metres (6,181 ft). The lake has a surface area of 50 hectares (120 acres).

The wind on the way to go, the sky is also gloomy, reaching the scenic spot, the team is really a lot of people, the scenic staff arranged the parking in an orderly manner, only to see the team of foreigners, Hong Kong and Taiwan after the car The scenic spot came out, and we were glad that we had a time to play with them. feeling is the mini version of Jiuzhaigou. Quiet nature is surrounded by ice peaks, glaciers, ice fields, glacial lakes, snow-capped mountains, forests and flowing rivers. It is a landscape of mountains and rivers, a perfect and isolated landscape. Everything around is more serene under the silvery snow-capped mountains, and the intruding visitors are beautiful embellishments in the beauty.

Moraine Lake is a glacial lake in Banff National Park, Canada, 14 km from Lake Louise. It is located under the Shifeng Mountain, with an altitude of 1884 meters and a lake area of 0.5 square kilometers. Since Menglian Lake is a glacial lake, it is only at the end of June every year that the lake reaches the highest line and reflects the deposited rock powder, showing a beautiful blue-green color. Menglian Lake is recognized by the world as the most photographed lake. The surface of the lake is gemstone blue, crystal clear, and under the embrace of a jagged valley, it is like a piece of jade. This "national treasure" was printed on Canada's 20 yuan banknotes.

This is the landscape printed on Canada's old 20-knife banknotes. It is known as Canada's most valuable lake and is close to lake louise. If you want to shoot the same angle as 20 knives, climb up the stone pile next to me, I didn't go up because of the inability of my legs and feet. Many people take shortcuts and walk over the driftwood on the water. I watched an Indian guy fall into the water, and none of the people on the shore held it, all laughing.
