The views around Lake O'Hara are stunning no matter where you are, but the reflection on the water you get from here is truly special. However, this isn't somewhere you go to on a whim. Reservations are required to take the bus out to the lake, otherwise it's a long hike (22 km, round trip) in on the access road.

Hiking

Reservations only for the lodge/camp ground and alpine hut and bus ride to the lake. 11k hike into the lake from the TransCanada Hwy 1 if you don't have a reservation.
