Moraine Lake, Alberta is the “other” lake. It is accessed off the same road as Lake Louise and is every bit as beautiful, if no more so. It’s biggest redeeming factor is that people drive right by the road to Moraine and continue on to Lake Louise. Their loss.
It is also higher in the mountain range as you can see by the snow line. I find it hard to believe, but I took this shot 10 years ago, time for a return trip.
Beautiful! We tried to go camping at Lake Louise a few years ago but the forest fire smoke stopped us at Salmon Arm. Are there campsites at Moraine Lake? Thinking about trying again.

I honestly don’t know. Has to be done close by. It’s a day trip for us from Calgary. From what I remember there probably isn’t.
