*** Summer Months ONLY *** Moraine Lake Moraine Lake is a true testament to the breathtaking beauty of Banff National Park. This glacier-fed lake, renowned for its vivid turquoise waters and stunning mountain backdrop, offers a scene that is both serene and awe-inspiring.

This vibrant color contrasts with the deep greens of the surrounding pine forests and the whites of the snow-capped peaks, crafting a picturesque landscape that seems straight out of a dream. One of the most iconic vantage points is from the Rockpile, a short hike that offers a panoramic view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. From this elevated perspective, visitors can fully appreciate the scale and beauty of Moraine Lake. The vista from the Rockpile is one of the most photographed scenes in Canada, capturing the essence of the lake’s pristine and untouched beauty, and is just a 10-to-15-minute short hike!
