The Bourgeau Lake Trail is a challenging but rewarding hike leading to a stunning alpine lake nestled beneath towering peaks. Gaining over 700 meters of elevation in 7.5 km (one way), the trail winds through dense forest before opening up to breathtaking valley views and ending at the crystal-clear waters of Bourgeau Lake.

For those looking for an even bigger adventure, hikers can continue to Harvey Pass for panoramic mountain vistas. While the climb is steady, the serene beauty of the lake and surrounding scenery make this a must-do hike for experienced hikers in Banff National Park.
