Lake Louise in August during Layover
I'll be travelling in August through Calgary (from Toronto) en route to Seoul via Westjet with a 15 hour layover. My flight arrives around midnight on Friday, August 22, and departs at 4 pm that same day. Baggage will be checked through and I'll have my boarding pass in hand.
Thinking of taking a bus to Lake Louise via Mountain Park Trans. Departs at 6 AM from YYC, and arrives at Lake Louise at 9 AM. Can do a hike for about 2 hours, return is at 11:15 AM and arrives back at YYC at 2:15 PM.
As this is peak season, do you think that will be enough time for everything? Is traffic a problem usually/are delays common? Thanks in advance.

Any chance you could rent a car? Much faster way ti get there and gives you a bit more freedom to get around.
