Banff National Park

Banff National Park is famously known for its colored lakes, majestic mountains, and endless outdoor adventures that it has to offer! It is also Canada’s very first national park and the world’s third! It has a rich heritage and is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring mountain destinations to discover! Make sure to even take a special look at its easy access and close proximity that it has to the vast unspoiled wilderness of the Canadian Rockies. The park itself spans 6,641 square kilometers (2,564 square miles) of pure mountainous terrain. It is greatly packed with spectacular scenic valleys, peaks, glaciers, forests, meadows, and rivers. Take a look at what makes Banff National Park so unique!

Lake Louise

Lake Louise, located on the south side of Highway 1, is a famous attraction in Banff National Park. With Mount Victoria as its barrier and surrounded by dense forests, the mountains and waters are interdependent, forming a perfect landscape photo. Lake Louise is like a pearl, otherworldly and otherworldly, so it is known as the "Sapphire in the Rocky Mountains" and has become a lake favored by photographers.

Moraine Lake

Moraine Lake is a glacial lake in Banff National Park in Canada. It is located in the famous Valley of the Ten Peaks. The bottom of the lake is filled with mineral-rich gravel. Over the years, the sedimentation has formed ever-changing blue water. It is recognized as the most photographed lake in the world. The lake surface is sapphire blue and crystal clear, like a shining pearl.

Yoho National Park

Yoho National Park lies on the western slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Vertical rock walls, waterfalls and high peaks draw visitors from all around the world to this unique national park! Yoho offers exceptional hiking and sightseeing for everyone to enjoy! The park even offers a unique glimpse of Canada’s natural wonders and an insight of this alpine majesty!

Emerald Lake

The beautiful Emerald Lake is the largest lake in Yoho National Park, covering an area of slightly more than one square kilometer. The lake water presents different shades of green under different light conditions, and is known as the "Emerald of the Rocky Mountains." Walking along the lakeside path, you can enjoy the reflections of the snow-capped mountains in the distance and the vigorous pines and cypresses nearby in the rippling blue water.

Natural Bridge

This natural bridge was formed after millions of years of erosion by the Kikinhaus River (also known as the Leaping Horse River). Initially, the river water washed out cracks in the solid rocks, causing the rushing river water to continuously break through the cracks in the rocks, and then gradually hollowed out the huge rocks from the bottom upwards, eventually making a huge rock blocking the river channel washed away into a "natural bridge" shaped like a bridge.

Marble Canyon

Marble Canyon is a popular hike in Kootenay National Park near Lake Louise, Alberta. The hike is an easy 1 mile (1.6 km) out and back trail suitable for all skill levels with fencing along most areas. The trail follows Tokumm Creek which created Marble Canyon by cutting and carving it’s way through the rock. Turquoise, glacial waters, and startling canyon walls grow ever more impressive along this short trail. Multiple bridges span the narrow gorge, crossing several times for spine-tingling views of the river below! Watch for fuchsia fireweed and mountain bluebirds in a landscape shaped by fire, erosion, and mountain building.

Due to the limited hotel resources in the Banff area, it is not possible to specify the room type. The hotel will randomly arrange a king-size bed room or a twin bed room based on the room availability on that day. Thank you for your understanding!

It passes through Banff National Park and Jasper National Park, connecting Lake Louise and Jasper. Today, Highway 93 overlaps with Highway 1 at Lake Louise and Castle Mountain before entering Kootenay National Park in British Columbia. The total length of the highway is 232 kilometers and it was completed in 1940. The name of the highway comes from the spectacular ice fields along the way, including the Columbia Icefield.

Bow Lake

Bow Lake is located approximately 30 minutes north of Lake Louise and off the Icefields Parkway (Hwy 93) in the Canadian Rockies. It is half a mile north of the Crowfoot Glacier. It sits at an elevation of 1,920 m (6,300 ft) and is one of the largest lakes at the Banff National Park. It is fed by the meltwater from the Bow Glacier in the Wapta Icefield. Bow Lake is a wonderful place for a picnic and to enjoy scenic breathtaking views.

Peyto Lake

Every summer, a large amount of glacial rock powder flows into the lake, and the particles of these rocks make the lake appear bright turquoise. Therefore, Peyto Lake has become a popular tourist attraction in the park.
