Cycling from Lake Louise to Peyto Lake - Total Distance 88km

We will leave the carpool area at 8:30am and head for Lake Louise. Please indicate if you can drive and how many people/bikes you can take when signing up. The number of people that can attend this event will be depend on the number of car racks available.

Peyto Lake is approximately 44km's from Lake Louise. I have never been there before but I hear it's beautiful and the water colour is remarkable.

We will cycle the Icefields Parkway to Peyto Lake, alongside Mt. Andromache. This should take us roughly 2 to 2.5h's. Once we arrive we will walk about 5 mins to the look out point and enjoy the view. After 20 minutes or so we can head back down the Icefields Parkway about 6 km's to the Num-Ti-Juh Lodge for lunch.

Please do not be in a rush to get back to the city. The times for this event are estimated.

You should be comfortable biking the stated distance at a minimum pace of 20-25km/hr.
