Fairview Mountain provides a terrific view of Mount Victoria, Victoria Glacier and Bow Valley. The ascent is a popular hike for decades.
The trail starts near the boathouse along the lakeshore and leads to
Saddleback in 3.7 km. The southeast slopes of Fairview Mountain are straightforward
and a beaten trail zigzags upwards. If the weather cooperates, the view
from the summit is fabulous. Return the via the same route, do not attempt
to descend gullies toward Lake Louise.
