Activity itinerary

Emerald Lake

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket included
The Activity: A scenic, mostly level hike along the shoreline of Emerald Lake - one of British Columbia’s most spectacular alpine lakes. We hit the day's furthest point first, experiencing the vivid turquoise of the "Jewel of Yoho" and its breadth of geological features through active discovery before the mid-day rush. The full lakeside loop is 5.2km; we will complete the trail in its entirety or in part, depending on your group’s preference, the season, and current trail conditions. Duration: 1–2 hours.

Natural Bridge

  • 15m
  • Admission ticket included
The Activity: A brief stop along Emerald Lake Road to observe the Kicking Horse River as it carves its way through solid rock.

Lake Louise

  • 1h 15m
The Activity: A visit to the most iconic basin in the range. We’ll move along the shoreline to reach the quieter vantage points of the lake and surrounding peaks, offering a better perspective of the Victoria Glacier and castle-like Fairmont Chateau. The in-and-out lakeshore trail is up to 4.6km in length, with nominal elevation gain. Duration: 1–1.5 hours.

Moraine Lake

  • 1h 15m
  • Admission ticket included
The Activity: At Moraine Lake, we combine a stroll along the forest-fringed lakeshore (up to 2.5km return) with a short climb up the "Rockpile" trail (350m each way). This provides a dual perspective: close-up views from the water’s edge, and the iconic, elevated vista of the stunning Ten Peaks and turquoise waters from the Rockpile perch. On our return towards Banff, we have the option for a quick pitstop at Lake Louise Village. Duration: 1–1.5 hours. Note: Because Moraine Lake Road is closed to all vehicles during the winter season (and to private, non-commercial vehicles year-round), this stop is only available between June and mid-October. Our van has the necessary permits for direct access during this window, so there is no need to change vehicles or worry about shuttle queues.

Bow Valley Parkway (Pass by)

The Activity: Time permitting, we transition to the Bow Valley Parkway for part of the leg back towards Banff. A quieter and more relaxed alternative to the Trans-Canada Highway, this route offers a different perspective of the valley and more frequent wildlife sightings. Note: certain sections are subject to seasonal closures for wildlife and to create a vehicle free experience for cyclists; during these times, we utilise the most scenic accessible portions of the route.
