Rock Isle Lake is a stunning spot in Sunshine Meadows, Banff National Park, offering crystal clear waters surrounded by lush greenery and colorful wildflowers. You can take a leisurely stroll along the lakeshore, relax on benches with picturesque views, and even spot some wildlife like foxes or deer. It's a perfect place to unwind, have a picnic, and soak in the beauty of the Canadian Rockies.

The trail is free, but most visitors access the area via the Sunshine Village Summer Gondola which is not free. The gondola is our favorite one for those looking to hike in the alpine as the views are astounding and the wild flowers are wonderful.
