4 Hiking in Canmore Worth Booking

1.Banff/Canmore Moraine Lake & Lake Louise– Hike, Canoe or Sightsee

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 104 reviews · 9 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $156Our pick

Spend 9 to 10 hours visiting Moraine Lake and Lake Louise from Banff, Canmore, or Harvie Heights. Choose more time at either lake, hike to viewpoints such as Lake Agnes Tea House, or rent a canoe at your own cost. A local guide drives a 14-passenger van, shares park and wildlife facts, and handles Moraine Lake access.

“We were driven by Yannick who was the best tour guide we've ever had. He shared information with us with remarkable enthusiasm (despite leading this tour on a daily basis). Super easy to talk to!!! We enjoyed the amazing sunrise after Yannick took us to the viewpoint and previewed the highlights. He left us to enjoy the sunrise and met us back at the van with hot chocolate.”
