This hike provides stunning views on Moraine Lake. Its not an easy hike and you have to scramble up the mountain. Once you reach the top the views are incredible. Way worth it. Consider wearing a helmet.

Mount Babel is a mountain peak located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. With an elevation of 3,101 metres and a clear view from the Valley of the Ten Peaks, it provides an attractive view that attracts many visitors. At the northern end of the peak rises the Tower of Babel, a 500-metre quartzite monolith that was named by Walter D. Wilcox in 1899 for its resemblance to the biblical Tower of Babel. Climbable year-round, the first ascent of the tower was completed in 1959. The ‘Babel’ in this mountain's name came from this monolith, and makes visiting Mount Babel a great way to experience both an incredible view and a bit of history.
