This hike climbs from Lake Louise to the summit of Fairview Mountain in Banff National Park. Along the way are singletrack trails, steady climbs, conifer forest, switchbacks, a small meadow with dwarf pines and a final steep push to the top. The dramatic summit offers a panoramic vista of Bow Valley and nearby peaks. The route is long on views and elevation gain. On the way back down it's worth making a brief side trip to the summit of Saddle Peak for clifftop views of Mt Temple and Paradise Valley.
