Moraine Lake Road Details
Starting from the Lake Louise Visitor Centre, Moraine Lake Road is heavily trafficked by cars and bicyclists, so it's advised to ride this route early or late in the day when there are less cars on the road. Aside from that, the route climbs to an elevation of 385 meters (1,263 feet) for terrific views of Consolation Valley and the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Once you've rested and taken in the views, turn around for a nice descent back to your starting point. Or, mountain bikers may want to create a loop ride by combining Moraine Lake Road with the challenging Moraine Lake Highline Trail. Trail guides and cycling maps are available, and be sure to follow the park's rules and regulations to make the most of your ride: be bear aware; ride on designated trails; avoid riding during extreme conditions; help preserve the trails' quality; know your limits; yield to other riders; and, of course, leave no trace. **Trail Type:** Out and Back **Difficulty:** Difficult **Distance:** 30 kilometers round trip (18.6 miles)
