Banff to Moraine Lake Return (Lake Louise)

Outstanding ride along the Bow Valley Parkway. I recently read an article about 10 roads you have to drive and the BVP was on the list. It must be better by bike. Stunning scenery, quiet road, terrific road surface and a great climb at the end. The climb to Lake Louise isn`t long, but tips up and gives your legs a workout. When you take the turn to go to Moraine Lake the road has an incline and then levels out before starting to tip up again. I was surprised at the amount of climbing in that 11km stretch. Moraine lake is beautiful and best visited by bike because of the traffic and parking craziness when you get there. Riding back is a blast and very fast because that uphill from before is now all downhill and fast. Overall a great ride that must be done.
