Historical landmark

Hike to the ''highest tearoom in the Rockies"
The hike to Lake Agnes is reputed to be the most famous in the Canadian Rockies, and it's easy to see why. From the shore of Lake Louise, it ascends 4 km. (2.5 mi.) on a wide trail past a smaller sub alpine lake and captivating waterfall, before arriving at what the Stoney Indians referred to as the ''lake in the clouds.'' In summer and early fall, the rustic chalet-styled Teahouse on its shore offers home baking, hand-warming soups and beverages. Find a spot near a window on the wrap-around porch and drink in the incredible views. A snack at the Teahouse will also give you the energy to continue to the nearby ''Beehives''. The best season to hike is June to October. Interpretive Mountain Heritage hikes to Lake Agnes depart from the Guides Cabin Tuesdays and Saturdays from mid-June, reservations are required. Please note: this is closed during Winter.

Wildlife Watching
Park

Known as the “Hiking Capital of Canada,” the area of Lake Louise offers a variety of sightseeing opportunities that feature awe-inspiring wildlife. From pikas to grizzlies, we promise you’ll enjoy the excitement of seeing animals in their natural habitat.
REMEMBER: Although it may seem obvious, the best way to view wildlife ''up close'' is through binoculars or a camera lens. Although they may look harmless, these animals are still wild and unpredictable. Don't get too close, because you can disturb them. Keep in mind that feeding wildlife in a national park is illegal and disrupts the animals' natural feeding pattern.
