To do this hike we had to hook up with at least 2 other people. The valley you hike thru is narrow and the chances of meeting up with a bear are great. We did the entire hike with a couple from Spain and part of the hike with another couple from Cochrane, AB. Check out the BLOG!

Our first view of Moraine Lake. Just about 10K further up the mountain from Lake Louise. This was at 9:45am, love the way the canoes are arranged.

Trail stats

Our hiking group of 6. We had to hike in groups of at least 6 in this area due to high bear activity. We didn’t see any this day.

That pass in between the 2 mountains is our destination.

Still snow…slippery snow, had to be quite careful here.

A look down at the valley we just hiked up from.

The valley on the other side of the pass

On top of the pass with our 2 hiking friends from Spain.

A look back at the pass

The only wildlife we saw, a hoary marmot with some white winter coat left.

Back at Moraine Lake. We took some time after the hike to the pass to walk around the lakeshore.

The cost to rent a canoe, $45/hour! Ouch! But lots of people were out, it was a gorgeous day.

The parking up at this lake is limited and when we left at 4ish, it was packed. The drive back down the road was slow, lots of cars coming up & the narrow road was full of cars parked along the side.
