Stop at: Johnston Canyon

60 min

Known for its walking trail throughout the year. The trail to the waterfalls of Johnston Canyon has to be the busiest in the Canadian Rockies. Nearly every day throughout the summer, hundreds of hikers follow its canyon-clinging catwalks and cliff-mounting staircases to the gorge’s Lower and Upper Falls. Throughout the journey, scan the creek and its banks for dippers. Also known as water ouzels, these solitary, slate-grey birds are often seen bouncing up and down on streamside rocks. *Free Crampon are provided for Winter itinerary (Nov to mid-Apr)

Overnight at Banff Town 3-star hotel (Banff Aspen Lodge & Spa or Similar)
Day 2

Banff Town - Yoho National Park - Lake Louise - Calgary

Stop at: Lower Spiral Tunnels Viewpoint

It is one of the most bizarre feats of engineering to get the grade of a train line to be at or below 2.2%. The current two spiral tunnels where the railroad forms two spirals, crossing beneath itself twice, almost forming a figure eight, before continuing in the proper direction down the mountain were completed in 1909.

20 min

Towering peaks of Continental Divide in Yoho National Park. Emerald Lake is the largest lake in Yoho National Park, snap photos of its turquoise water.

Stop at: Natural Bridge

15 min

Sculpted by the erosive forces of rushing water over what had once been a waterfall, the Natural Bridge is a powerful reminder of how much influence water has in shaping the landscape.

Stop at: Lake Louise

120 min

This beautiful lake is named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta. Famous photo-taking location, snap lots of beautiful photos as much as you want and also can enjoy to hiking the trail around the lake. In winter, you can walk on the lake with snowshoes (provided) and experience the charming snow scenery.

Stop at: Moraine Lake

60 min

Its waters are the most amazing color, a vivid shade of turquoise that changes in intensity through the summer as the glaciers melt. Set in the rugged Valley of the Ten Peaks, Moraine Lake is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and rock piles, creating a scene so stunning it almost seems unreal. *Moraine Lake open from June to Oct-09, 2023.
