What you'll see & do
- ✓Lake Louise is a stunning alpine lake located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. Known for its turquoise waters and breathtaking mountain backdrop, it is a must-visit destination. Although parking can be limited, as a guide, I can drop off and pick up guests to maximize their time there. In 60 minutes, visitors can take in the awe-inspiring beauty, walk along the lakeshore, and capture memorable photos. They can also explore the nearby Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, rent a canoe, or embark on a short hike to further immerse themselves in the natural splendor of this iconic location.
- ✓From June to mid-October. Admire Moraine Lake’s brilliant turquoise waters and towering mountain backdrop, with time to explore the lakeshore and capture unforgettable photos. This tour stop is available seasonally, typically from June to mid-October, weather permitting.
- ✓Located in Banff National Park, Alberta, is renowned for its stunning waterfalls and dramatic limestone cliffs. We will go up to Lower falls only. The easy-to-moderate trail follows Johnston Creek, featuring catwalks and bridges that provide breathtaking views of Falls. This popular hiking destination, known for its picturesque natural setting and opportunities for wildlife observation, can be quite crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons.
- ✓Starting 13 Oct, Emerald Lake, located in Yoho National Park, Canada, enchants visitors with its striking emerald-green waters, reflecting the surrounding mountains and forests. The serene ambiance, coupled with the picturesque setting, makes it a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike. Discover the tranquility and beauty of Emerald Lake in the heart of the Rockies.
- ✓Starting 13 Oct, Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park is a unique and fascinating natural formation. The bridge is formed by the erosion of the limestone rock by the rushing waters of the Kicking Horse River behind what was once a more standard waterfall. Over time, the constant flow of water over thousands of years wore away at the rock, creating a hole in the limestone behind the falls. As the hole grew larger, the river began to flow through it, creating the tunnel that we see today. The result is a beautiful and unique natural structure that is truly one of a kind, and is a must-see when visiting Yoho National Park.
- ✓Enjoy a scenic stop at Banff’s largest lake, surrounded by stunning mountain views and crystal-clear waters. Take in the panoramic scenery, capture beautiful photos, and learn about the lake’s fascinating history from your guide. Depending on the season and conditions, you may also have time for a short walk along the shoreline.
- ✓Enjoy a peaceful scenic stop with beautiful views of the turquoise-blue lake and surrounding Rocky Mountains. Take some time to relax, enjoy the scenery, and capture stunning photos of this picturesque Banff location.
- ✓Seasonal Access from June to October. Stop at this scenic viewpoint to see the historic Spiral Tunnels and learn how trains navigate through the Rocky Mountains. Enjoy sweeping mountain views and, with good timing, watch Canadian Pacific trains pass through the tunnels below.
- ✓Stop at this iconic viewpoint along the Bow Valley Parkway, known for its beautiful mountain scenery and the chance to spot Canadian Pacific trains winding through the valley. It’s a quick but memorable photo stop with spectacular Rocky Mountain views.
- ✓Enjoy a scenic drive along this beautiful mountain route, surrounded by forests, rugged peaks, and stunning valley views. Keep an eye out for local wildlife (not guaranteed), including elk, deer, and bears, while taking in the natural beauty of Banff National Park.
