Your guide will explain the route and current trail conditions so you can make the most of your visit. Summer visit: 90 minutes. If Johnston Canyon is closed for safety or maintenance, we’ll visit Marble Canyon instead.

If you prefer a gentler pace, explore the lakeshore or settle into a quiet spot to take it all in. We’ll explain your options and help you make the most of your visit, with access and direct transportation taken care of. Seasonal stop: Opens June 1, with Parks Canada’s scheduled road closure on October 13. When Moraine Lake is closed, we visit Surprise Corner and Castle Mountain Viewpoint instead.

Summer visit: 1 hour 30 minutes. Winter visit: 2 hours.
  • ✓At Bow Falls, we’ll stop for a closer look at the Bow River as it tumbles over a wide stretch of rock beneath the surrounding mountains. Take a short walk along the riverside, capture a few photos, or simply enjoy the sound of the water. From rushing summer waters to snow and ice along the river in winter, it’s a stop we enjoy sharing year-round.
  • ✓Castle Mountain is one of Banff’s most recognizable peaks, with towering rock walls that resemble a fortress above the valley. This viewpoint is a favourite of ours—a place to pause, take a few photos, and simply enjoy the quiet and the scale of the mountains around you. Your guide will share a little of Castle Mountain’s story before giving you time to take it all in. We visit Castle Mountain Viewpoint when Moraine Lake is closed for the season.
