Lake Louise & Yoho Trail Map & Guide - Gem Trek. The Lake Louise and Yoho National Park areas offer some of the most
scenic and accessible hiking trails in the entire Canadian Rockies. This

most popular trail networks in the area - the Chateau Lake Louise,
Moraine Lake, Skoki Valley, Emerald Lake, Yoho Valley and Lake O'Hara

Best-known trails on this map include the two classic "tea
house hikes" to Lake Agnes and Plain of the Six Glaciers teahouses; the
hike to wildflower heaven at the Saddleback and beyond to panoramic
views at the summit of Fairview Mountain; the overnight trip into prime
alpine country in Skoki Valley, the renowned Larch Valley Trail at
Moraine Lake, resplendent in September; the Iceline Trail in Yoho
Valley, offering close-up views of Emerald Glacier; and the spectacular
