Herbert Lake

A small lake just outside of Lake Louise I found the very essence of Banff's beauty. "Herbert Lake is an easily accessible lake along the roadside near the southern end of the Columbia Icefields Parkway, only a few miles north of Lake Louise. It is a great location for early morning or late afternoon photos of the surrounding mountains. The large peak is Mt Bosworth." Just 3 km from Lake Louise. When the weather is calm you can see a crystal clear reflection of the mountains in the lake. There's a campsite by the lake. You can also fish, swim, hike and picnic.
