We took a ride up to Lake Louise. The amount of tourists was quite surprising. Parking was unavailable and needed to be pre paid and booked so a shuttle could take tourists from the Ski Hill to Lake Louise. Thankfully we found a parking spot heading to the Fairmount. It was a short enough walk up to the lake. We walked the base as it was too hot and busy to hike the mountain trails. The views were spectacular! I would suggest booking at the Fairmount to really make the most of it.
