アルバータ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

It really feels like a fairy tale here.

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.

I have done this at the end of July. While it is as everybody describes, easy to the lower falls and not super hard to the upper falls, it was extremely crowded and it felt more like cattle drive up there. I suggest do this very early in the morning or evening there is probably less traffic.

Delicious tea, sandwiches, and soup. A wonderful place to recover from the climb.

Great waterfall, but you have to get there very early, otherwise there are just too many people there.

I would have liked to climb higher but without crampons and with my very slippery boots it was not advisable, very thin ice

The Maligne River, about 80 km long, flows into the Athabasca River near Jasper at 1,000 meters elevation. Its main reservoir is Maligne Lake, with Medicine Lake located 16 km from its mouth at 1,392 meters. Much of the river’s water disappears into an underground drainage system, re-emerging downstream through springs and underground channels. Below Medicine Lake, the river gains volume from surface runoff and springs. At Maligne Canyon, it carves a deep gorge through erosion, forming potholes and curved surfaces. The canyon drops 120 meters over 1.5 km, with underground water sources significantly increasing the river's volume at the bottom.

At the turquoise Fourth Lake you have a wonderful view of the Trident Range mountains. In the Tonquin Valley with the Portal Creek, Peveril Peak catches the eye. When the water level is high, the Third and Fourth Lakes are connected.
