Description
Going Up: This is just the beginning. A narrow, twisting trail leads steadily upward through a dense forest of sub-alpine fir, engleman spruce, and larch at higher elevations. The climb seems relentless but the scenery of this mountain landscape is magnificent at every turn. Once over the saddleback, hikers can descend into Paradise Valley with its breath-taking views or elect to go even higher on a grueling ascent to a long, windy ridge atop Fairview Mountain with a spectacular view of Lake Louise and the surrounding mountain ranges . . . highly recommended. Speaking of high, at almost 10,000 feet above sea level, this is the highest hiking trail in Canada. Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. � Copyright Greg Hammond. All rights reserved.
