Stop at: Johnston Canyon

60 min Admission included

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.

Stop at: Emerald Lake

30 min Admission included

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.

Stop at: Natural Bridge

15 min Admission included

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.
