The Moraine Lake Rockpile Trail is a short but unforgettable hike leading to arguably the most iconic view in Canada. Perched above the turquoise waters of Moraine Lake, the Rockpile offers a breathtaking vista of the lake framed by the towering peaks of the Valley of the Ten Peaks—a scene that has drawn visitors from around the globe and adorned countless postcards.

This quick and easy trail is a must-do for anyone visiting the Canadian Rockies, delivering a surreal and awe-inspiring experience that lives up to its legendary reputation. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, the view from the Rockpile is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression. It has never soured on us after dozens of trips to the lake.
