- The Consolation Lake trail is a favorite family hike near Lake Louise, and can be paired with the Moraine Lake Rockpile and Lakeshore hike. Hike along Babel Creek to Consolation Lakes, which are fringed with stunning glacier clad mountains.
From the Moraine Lake parking lot, follow signposts leading off to the left towards Consolation Lakes. Continue on this route by crossing the bridge and follow the trail, noting that this hike often requires hiking in groups due to bear activity.
This path is well-maintained and the scenery is excellent as you hike below the Tower of Babel on your right and then through a boulder field that leads to a pleasant forest walk. You’ll be surprised how quickly the crowds of Moraine Lake melt away and you can enjoy the solitude and beauty of the Canadian Rockies.
The landscape opens as you approach Lower Consolation Lake. Many people stop here, however you can continue to Upper Consolation Lake via either side of the lake. We recommend taking the route through scree, as the other side can be quite wet.

Great video
I love Bow Lake Absolutely beautiful!
I just came from there a week ago. Gorgeous!
great video. How long would it take to complete this trail?
The trail itself is only 7.5km, all the way to the second lake like on the video. 2km/h if you’re a slow pace hiker, 3km/h for medium and 4km/h for fast pace. Keep in mind to pass the first lake to the second you will be bouldering and if there’s snow it will be slow. Even if there’s no snow, it’s not a section you can do quickly.
Love the content
Thank you, it’s an amazing place to hike
Parks Canada officer told me that grizzlies hang out around Lake Louise.
Bears are all over the Canadian Rockies. Hike in groups, carry bear spray & make noise. We see them often, they’re amazing animals!
what's a scramble?
Scramble is when you need your hands to get up a trail / mountain
@@EricTremblayAdventures thanks, I've really been enjoying the videos.
