3. Lake Louise

Lake Louise is a glacial lake within Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. It is named after the Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and the wife of the Marquess of Lorne, who was the Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883. The turquoise colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake. The lake has a surface of 0.8 km² and is drained through the 3 km long Louise Creek into the Bow River.

Duration: 60 mins

4. Moraine Lake

(Open from June 1 to Oct 14 only, we go to Marble canyon instead when out of that period) The waters of Moraine Lake seem like they have been poured straight from the heavens into the Valley of the Ten Peaks. The towering mountains encircle the deep blue surface of the lake in a formation so extraordinary, only Mother Nature could shape it. Piles of boulders have been seemingly dropped by the hands of giants, forming miniature mountains near the lakeshore. Let yourself be drawn to the trails that wind amongst the rocks and travel beyond to alpine meadows and sparkling lakes.

Duration: 80 mins

5. Lake Louise Visitor Information Centre

The village of Lake Louise is the highest mini town with an elevation of 1,661 m. Take some free time here to have your lunch, browse the stores and the visitor center surrounding the mini square. Regain some energy for the rest of the tour.

Duration: 45 mins

6. Lower Spiral Tunnels Viewpoint

A brutal avalanche in 1899 that destroyed the station at Rogers Pass. One by one, the frugal proposals were eliminated and CP Rail's chief engineer signed off on a much more ambitious project that would solve the problem once and for all.

Duration: 15 mins

7. Natural Bridge

Natural Bridge is an impressive natural rock formation that spans the flow of the Kicking Horse River west of Field, where the slower-moving waters from the Field valley flats begin their descent through a canyon to be joined by the Amiskwi River. 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. Softer rock found below the Natural Bridge's hard limestone band eroded more quickly, and fissures in the rock widened until the flow of water was diverted below the outcrop.

Duration: 20 mins

8. Emerald Lake

Emerald Lake is a freshwater lake located in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. Emerald Lake is enclosed by mountains of the President Range. The vivid green color of the Emerald Lake water is caused by powdered rock from the glaciers, which reflects the blue-green spectrum of sunlight. The rock type and the amount of it in the water causes the color to vary from lake to lake and month to month, even Take a short surrounding-lake walk with us to sense the quiet beauty of the color enriched lake that you would never forget in the rest of your life.

Duration: 60 mins

9. Hoodoos Trail

A “hoodoo” is a North American term for a unique rock formation. Soft rock is coated by harder earth that resists more erosion from the weather. This protective coating is essential for creating what is known as hoodoos. With the Bow River in the background and towering mountains surrounding you. It’s a majestic viewpoint that gives stunning views overlooking these natural peaks.
