Great vantage point with a wonderful view. The smooth stones are ideal for a picnic.

Hiking
A scenic hike in the eastern part of Rocky Mountains National Park, passing several lakes, including The Loch, Lake Haiyaha, Dream Lake, Nymph Lake, and Bear Lake.
After about 3 kilometers on the Glacier Gorge Trail, you first pass the 9-meter-high Alberta Falls. Continuing uphill through the autumn-colored forest, you pass numerous viewpoints and reach the picturesque "The Loch," framed by a majestic mountain backdrop with occasional snowcapped peaks.
