Plain of Six Glaciers
Follow the lake into a glacial valley on a longer, exposed mountain walk. Turn around for worsening weather and keep a return-bus buffer.
Where to park · how to get there
Best plan: reserve Parks Canada from the Lake Louise Ski Resort Park & Ride on Whitehorn Road, or Roam 8X from Banff. Lakeshore parking is $42/day in this season, separate from park entry; it often fills by sunrise. No waiting queue when full. Do not park at the lakeshore to join a Park & Ride reservation. RVs and oversized vehicles cannot park at Lake Louise lakeshore; use the Park & Ride.
When to arrive
Use an early reserved bus; a late start leaves little margin for the hike and return queues.
