Hikes Banff - Bourgeau Lake & Harvey Pass

GPS track from wikiloc.

Overview

The approach to Borgeau Lake starts just off the Trans Canada Highway, and is a long, steady, and fairly boring ascent through forest until you reach Bourgeau Lake. The lake is beautiful, and rewarding in its own right, but if you've come this far, then don't stop there - ascending to Harvey Pass quickly opens up into an alpine playground with ever-expanding views (and likely few to no other people around).
