Lake Louise
Nestled in the heart of Banff National Park, Lake Louise is one of Canada’s most iconic and picturesque destinations. Famous for its vibrant turquoise waters, framed by majestic mountain peaks and the stunning Victoria Glacier, this glacial lake offers breathtaking scenery year-round. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk along the lakeshore, rent a canoe in summer, or experience a magical winter wonderland with ice skating and snow-covered views. The historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise adds to the charm, providing a perfect backdrop for photography and relaxation.
Crowfoot Glacier
Marvel at the natural wonder of Crowfoot Glacier, a stunning hanging glacier nestled on the slopes of Crowfoot Mountain along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park. Once named for its three distinct “toes” resembling a crow’s foot, the glacier has become a symbol of the changing climate, as one of its toes has melted over time. Easily visible from a roadside viewpoint along Bow Lake, this glacier offers breathtaking scenery without the need for a strenuous hike. Surrounded by dramatic peaks and alpine beauty, it’s a perfect photo stop and educational moment during your journey through the Canadian Rockies. The glacier’s shimmering ice, combined with its historical significance and accessibility, makes it a favorite highlight for visitors exploring the iconic Icefields Parkway. Whether you're on a sightseeing tour or road-tripping through Banff, a stop at Crowfoot Glacier is a must for lovers of nature, geology, and striking mountain landscapes.
Bow Lake
Bow Lake, located along the scenic Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park, is one of the most beautiful and easily accessible lakes in the Canadian Rockies. Fed by the Bow Glacier, the lake’s brilliant turquoise waters reflect the surrounding mountains, including Crowfoot Mountain and Mount Thompson, creating postcard-perfect views. A peaceful stop for travelers, Bow Lake offers opportunities for short walks, photography, and enjoying the quiet beauty of alpine nature. In summer, the area is alive with wildflowers and gentle breezes, while in colder months, it transforms into a serene, snow-covered landscape. The historic Num-Ti-Jah Lodge, located on the northern shore, adds rustic charm and a glimpse into the region’s heritage. Whether you stop for a quick photo or a longer break, Bow Lake provides an unforgettable experience with its calm waters, glacier-fed brilliance, and panoramic mountain backdrop—perfect for nature lovers and road trippers alike.
