If you're looking for another Alberta hike to your packed summer schedule, this stunning trail around a huge lake that leads to a glacier and waterfall could be the perfect option.

The nine-kilometre trail is classed as a moderate trail according to All Trails, and it takes you through a ton of terrain from the lakeshore, up a staircase into the forest to a boulder field before you even get to the waterfall itself.
The trail is relatively flat too which makes it a great option for beginners with the only tricker parts being the stairs.

Once you get to the waterfall, you can get up close and personal which is perfect if you need to cool off during a sweaty hike.
Heading back to the lakeshore is the ideal spot to relax post-hike so make sure you bring a picnic or plenty of snacks to take in all that scenery. You won't regret it.
