If you're planning a day trip to Moraine Lake from Baker Creek, you may have heard that the road is now closed to public access. The demand for access to Moraine Lake far exceeds the capacity of the parking lot. Last summer, the demand was so high that the parking lot remained full nearly 24 hours a day. But don't let that stop you from experiencing the beauty of these iconic Canadian destinations. Luckily, a shuttle service is now available to take you directly from Baker Creek to both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise!
*Update as of July 17, 2023 - Please ensure that you are well-prepared for your day trip to Moraine Lake. Please take note that there are several washrooms currently unavailable, and cleanliness might not meet expectations. Moreover, it's important to be aware that there are no dining options or places to conveniently purchase snacks or water. We highly recommend packing an ample supply of snacks and drinks prior to your departure.
Not only is this shuttle service a convenient option, but it also helps to alleviate the congestion and environmental impact caused by large numbers of cars and buses on the road. By taking the shuttle, you can sit back and relax, enjoying the stunning views without worrying about navigating the winding mountain roads or finding a parking spot.
The shuttle service runs from 8am to 2:30pm June 1st to October 15th, 2023, giving you plenty of time to explore both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. Plus, starting at just $25 per person, it's an affordable option for those on a budget. All reservations must be reserved through the Ten Peaks website. We highly recommend booking in advance to guarantee your spot on the shuttle, as there is only limited seating available and minimal time slots throughout the day departing from Baker Creek.
So, whether you're an avid hiker, a photographer, or just looking for a fun day trip, the shuttle service is definitely worth considering. Don't miss out on the chance to experience the breathtaking beauty of these Canadian landmarks!
