The Plain of Six Glaciers hike in Banff National Park is a stunning and rewarding adventure that starts with a leisurely stroll along the shores of Lake Louise. As you continue on, the trail takes you into a breathtaking mountain amphitheater where you can get up close to massive glaciers. Don't forget to stop at the historic Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House for some coffee while soaking in the incredible views.

Just be prepared for a bit of a climb towards the end, but the scenery makes it all worth it!

This particular route comes in at 8.6 miles with just over 1,900 feet of elevation gain. I'd characterize it as moderate in difficulty, but the length might put it on the more difficult side for some hikers.
