Lake Louise is one of the bluest lakes in the world! This area has tons of sight seeing & hiking trails all from one parking lot.

Paid parking is present from 3 a.m. to 7 p.m. between May 17 and October 14, 2025. The parking fee is $36.75 per vehicle per day and $8 if you have a handicapped placard. You will also need a valid Parks Canada Pass for all National Parks in Canada.

If you drive yourself, make sure to get to the parking lot before 8am as it does get full quickly.

You can also choose to take a shuttle here.

Reservations are required for the shuttle online at https://reservation.pc.gc.ca/or by calling 1-877-737-3783.

60% of the shuttle tickets are released at 8 am MT two days before, so check back two days in advance for more availability. Shuttle cost is $8

We recommend to spend one full day exploring the hikes at Lake Louise (our favs are Big Beehive or Plain of Six Glaciers)

If you drive yourself, all trails are dog friendly.
