Moraine Lake, nestled in Banff National Park, is renowned for its stunning turquoise waters and the Valley of the Ten Peaks backdrop. Due to its popularity, access is restricted, often requiring shuttle buses from the Park and Ride, especially during peak season (late May to mid-October). Accessibility can be challenging, with some trails being difficult. Solo visits are feasible, but guided tours offer deeper insights into the area's geology and ecology. The duration of a visit typically ranges from a few hours to a full day, depending on hiking plans. Costs include park entry fees and shuttle fares, and can range from $20 to $50 per person, depending on transportation and activities. Booking transportation in advance is highly recommended.
