Is lake Moraine or Louise better?
Even though Lake Louise has private vehicle access and limited parking, it's not necessarily more accessible in the summer and it's recommended to pre-book shuttles. Contrary to perceptions of greater development, Lake Louise isn't much more developed than Moraine Lake, and public dining options are limited.
Can you do Lake Louise and lake Moraine in the same day?
You will be able to see both lakes in one day. Reservation holders must check in at the Lake Louise Park and Ride during your departure time. Free parking is available for those with reservations.
Why can you no longer drive to Moraine Lake?
Every year, thousands of visitors plan to drive to Moraine Lake — until they discover that private vehicles are no longer allowed. The road is closed to the public to reduce congestion, protect wildlife, and preserve one of the most photographed alpine lakes on the planet.
