Pristine wilderness. Glistening lake and majestic mountains
If you’re pondering how to get to this dreamy landscape, you’ll have to get your hiking boots on. Located above Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, Minnestimma Lake is accessible through the iconic Larch Valley Trail. The trail consists of several steep switchbacks along with patches of incline amidst a valley of larches. The hike is well worth it when you’re rewarded with scenic vistas of the Rockies all around.
