Lake Louise has good opportunities for hikers of every ability.

A 3-mile level trail goes from the hotel to the end of the lake.

Plain of 6 Glaciers is where you get if you continue beyond; there is a tea house there. Some elevation gain is involved.

Or, branching off almost immeiately would be the Lake Agnes trail, heading up to a lake and a tea house.

Another destination just 7 or so miles away by road would be Moraine Lake, with a short lakeside trail (1 1/2 miles) and more strenuous ones available.

Also worthwhile is the Lake Louise Gondola, from which we spotted a grizzly bear below munching on the vegetation in the cleared area. This was on 7/4.

Peyto Lake, on the Icefields Parkway, is very beautiful, and involves a small climb and about 1/2 mile.

And, you can almost drive to one of Canada's highest waterfalls in adjacent (BC) Yoho NP (Takakkaw Falls).
