15The Healy Pass Hike
Last but certainly not least, is this challenging, 18.3-kilometer, out-and-back adventure. The elevation here is 890 meters. The difficulty level here is mainly due to the elevation gain and the length of the trail.
If you are a regular hiker you should have the endurance to handle the hike. Much of it leads through a lush, canopied forest, opening up as you get close to Healy Pass. Enjoy the sweeping lake and mountain views.
While this Banff trail includes picturesque scenery in the summer, the fall foliage is particularly colorful. If you hike it in the summer, you will discover a valley full of colorful wildflowers. Hike it in the fall and you will see the golden, fiery larch trees.
