Moraine Lake

Aug 27th. The weather initially looks pretty bad but there is a hint of blue sky so I drive the 14km from Lake Louise Village to Moraine Lake. The sun decides to come out which is always good and the sight of this lake surrounded by huge mountains is breathtaking. It is even more spectacular than Lake Louise is. The hike today will be a brief 11km one but with a decent elevation gain. The only pain is that there is a restricted use on the trail so you have to hike in groups of 4 or more. So I have to hang around by the trailheads and wait for some people to join me. This doesn't take too long though and off we go.
