Lake O'Hara is the name of a lake and alpine area in Yoho National Park, in the province of British Columbia, on the western side of the Great Divide with the province of Alberta and Banff National Park to the east. The lake and the valley are accessible through a bus service [http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/bc/yoho/activ/activ15a_e.asp#1] that is run by Parks Canada or by a 11 km hike along a road with an elevation gain of approximately 500m. Reservations for the bus can be made up to 3 months in advance through the Lake O'Hara reservation line, but there are also 6 spots that are available 24 hours in advance.

The area is known for its beautiful scenery as well as its world class alpine hiking. The number of people who access the area by bus has been limited in order to preserve the sensitive alpine environment. As such, it has become a very popular destination as a result of its exclusivity.

The Elizabeth Parker Alpine Club Hut is in the Meadows about a 15 minute walk from the Lodge. It is also a popular ski destination in the winter, with many skiers doing it as a day trip.
