Mosquito Creek MO5 Backcountry Campground

Trailhead: Park at the Mosquito Creek Campground or Hostel. Approximately 24kms north of Lake Louise on the east side of the Icefields Parkway. Banff National Park.

Description: This would make an excellent overnight trip with young children. Follow the molar pass trail towards north molar pass. Within an hour or so you’ll arrive at the mosquito creek backcountry campground. The campground is nicely kept with flat campsites located next to mosquito creek. You’ll need to reserve your campsite before heading out.

Lots to explore near here. The trail past the campground leads to north and south molar pass. Follow the trail past the campground until you reach the signed north and south molar pass fork. The left hand fork leads towards north molar pass and fish lakes. Right hand trail leads to the summit of south molar pass. Both are absolutely stunning and well worth exploring. See fish lakes listing below for more details. This Is Bear Country.
