Trip Description

Explore the breathtaking beauty of the Canadian Rockies on a full-day tour from Calgary, Canmore, or Banff. Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy free time at each stop to explore.

Begin your journey with a stop at Johnston Canyon, where you can walk along steel catwalks suspended in a dramatic canyon and witness rushing waterfalls in a unique natural setting. This is an easy, family-friendly hike that offers unforgettable views.

Next, visit Lake Louise, famous for its turquoise water and majestic mountain backdrop. Enjoy a peaceful stroll along the lake or take in the view from the historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

Continue to Emerald Lake, a hidden gem in Yoho National Park known for its vibrant green waters. Surrounded by towering peaks, it's the perfect spot for photos and a relaxing walk.

Take a lunch break at Emerald Lake Lodge, where you can purchase lunch at the café or nearby food outlets (lunch not included in tour price).

After lunch, see the power of water in action at the Natural Bridge, a fascinating rock formation carved by the Kicking Horse River. A quick and easy stop for photos and nature appreciation.

Next, visit Takkakaw Falls, one of Canada's tallest waterfalls, cascading over 1,200 feet in a stunning mountain setting. A short paved walk leads you close enough to feel the mist.

Finally, stop at the Spiral Tunnel Viewpoint to learn about this incredible feat of railway engineering as trains loop through tunnels carved into the mountain. A perfect spot to end your Rockies tour with a bit of history.
