Climbing mountain around lake louise

Location: Lake Louise, AB, Canada
Lake Louise is about 1h away from Banff it’s a very small town with basically just one big hotel on the side of the lake and a big ski resort  with almost nothing else.
there is two very beautiful lake around, Lake Louise and Moraine lake, both are really beautiful and change color along the year because of the sediment coming from all the glacier water that feed these lakes.


Of course it is also surrounded by mountains, the most famous in the area is Mount Temple (3544m) the scramble to get on top of this one is a bit more challenging that Cascade or Rundle that I climbed before around Banff which made this hike really amazing and the view from up here is also perfect, it was a bit sad that it was a bit foggy the day i got there because of some fire further away in BC, so the view wasn't very clear.


Later in the season I went to climb another mountain just a bit further away than Lake Louise : Bow peak (2868m)  the scramble to get up there was really nice, including a river crossing. and the view from up here was really amazing, one of the best view i got this summer, also because it was a very clear day.
have a look at the photosynth, I did this one with a very very high resolution so you can really enjoy the view!
