    Tips

    October 21, 2025

    One of Canada's most famous locations, Lake Louise (known in the Stoney Nakoda language as Ho-run-num-nay, meaning “Lake of the Little Fishes”) shines with its glacier-fed turquoise waters. The lake serves as a base for hiking, summer canoeing, and winter skiing. With limited parking and shuttle options required during peak season, planning ahead will turn a visit into a memorable encounter with one of the Rockies’ most iconic landscapes. As others have mentioned, it does get very busy, so arriving early is a great way to beat the crowds and enjoy a bit of solitude along the shoreline.

        It's bear time now. However, don't be put off by the warning signs. Since a lot of people hike up and down the trail, the bears stay away.
