The trip to the lake alone is reason enough to visit the lake. The road through the forests along the Maligne River, past Medicine Lake to Maligne Lake offers breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies on the way there and especially on the way back. Elk and ibex can be observed live. Here you can also get an impression of the devastating effects of a forest fire. Once you arrive at the lake, you can rent a canoe, take a tour boat, hike around the lake or enjoy life with a coffee in the café overlooking the lake.

For those who like orchids, the plant, also known as Norne, will probably catch your eye. A really elegant flower.

Great trail, but at the end of May only accessible as far as the Fire Lookout due to snow. Unfortunately
