Waterproof and tear-resistant hiking and recreation map for the Lake Louise area of Banff National Park.
Gem Trek’s Best of Lake Louise Map is designed for visitors who are going to be in Lake Louise for a short period of time and want to make the most of their stay. The main map is a detailed relief-shaded topographic map of the Lake Louise area. All hiking and biking trails are labeled, and distances are marked.
Like all Gem Trek maps, the Best of Lake Louise Map features detailed cartography and accurate hiking trails with distances, elevation gain, and directions to the trailhead noted. On the back of the map are descriptions of what to see and do at Lake Louise, details of scenic drives, and recommended hikes.
Map Coverage
The Best of Lake Louise Map focuses on the Lake Louise region of Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Coverage extends from the Alberta/British Columbia border in the west to the Lake Louise Ski Resort in the east. Lake Louise is regarded by many as the premier hiking destination in all of the Canadian Rockies, and we’ve got all the best trails covered—Lakeshore, Plain of the Six Glaciers, Lake Agnes, the two beehives, Saddleback, Paradise Valley and the Bow River Loop. An inset map on the back increases coverage of Lake Louise Village, with accommodations, the campground, and hiking trails marked. For coverage of a larger area of Lake Louise, see Gem Trek’s Lake Louise and Yoho Map.
