This is a high-elevation backcountry area that has to rate as one of the best hiking destinations anywhere. Trails radiate from the lake in all directions; the longest is just 7.5 km (4.7 miles), making Lake O’Hara an especially fine hub for day hiking. You can choose from an easy shoreline lake to loop trails through alpine basins filled with small lakes, to spectacular high alpine traverses. What makes this destination all the more special is that a quota system limits the number of visitors.
