Directions
From the public parking lots southeast of Lake Louise, walk to the lake's outlet stream. Contiune up along the south side of the stream to the trailhead, located on the forest margin to the left just short of the boathouse.
Details
This trail is one of the best places to view golden-needled alpine larch in late September, and it is the approach to the spectacular viewpoint atop Fairview Mountain. Fairview summit is the highest trail-accessible point in the mountain parks.
From the Saddleback trail, there is access to the Moraine Lake-Paradise Valley and Sheol Valley trails.
