Lake O’Hara, Canada
Michelle Childs
Eleven quaint cabins dot the shores of Lake O’Hara, Alberta, not far from Lake Louise. These rustic cabins offer incredible views of this secluded jewel in the Canadian Rockies. Few are fortunate enough to gain access to the protected area — it’s 11 kilometers from the road — but once in, a spectacular playground lies at your feet. Glacier lakes, alpine meadows, and mountain skylines surround you. Here, you can explore on foot some of the most spectacular hiking in North America. Canadians will tell you Lake O’Hara is one of the most beautiful places on earth. And it’s not far from the truth.
