For those who like to earn their views the Louise Creek Trail offers a great alternative to the busy bus stops and parking lots near the shore of Lake Louise. The trail climbs steeply from Lake Louise Village, tracing its namesake creek back to its source at Lake Louise. Along the way you'll be treated to great views of the creek and surrounding mountains. Though don't expect to catch a breather once you reach the lake, as the view is as likely to take your breath away as the steep trail.
