Boom Lake

#falladventures Boom Lake is popular because it offers a highly rewarding, relatively easy hike in Banff National Park, leading to a stunning, secluded, and serene alpine lake surrounded by dramatic mountain cliffs. It's less crowded than other famous Banff lakes, providing a more tranquil experience for visitors. Ease of Access vs. Reward: The 10.2 km (6.3 miles) round-trip trail has a gentle and steady incline, making the impressive views at the end a high-reward destination without a strenuous, steep climb. It's suitable for beginners, families, and even trail runners.
