Tower of Babel is a sub-peak with epic views of Moraine Lake that you can reach via 3.2 km long in and out scramble with almost 500 meters elevation gain. The trail goes through a scree that can be as steep as 45 degrees, so despite being so short, it's a challenging route for experienced hikers and scramblers. The view is definitely amazing, but it is a bit of a challenge and you should definitely need to study the route and follow offline map as it's just rocks and no defined trail once you get on the scree.

To access the trailhead, you'll need to get to Moraine Lake which means you need to book either Parks Canada Shuttle or one of the private shuttles - we recommend Moraine Lake Bus Company or Via Via Moraine Lakeine Lake (use code DREAMYADVENTURERS15 for 15% off).
