Where You’ll Go

🌊 Johnston Canyon

Kick off your day with a refreshing walk along catwalks that cling to canyon walls above rushing waters and waterfalls. It’s one of Banff National Park’s most beloved hikes—locals know it’s always worth the visit.

🌄 Marble Canyon

A lesser-known treasure, Marble Canyon is a geological wonder where bridges zigzag across a deep limestone gorge. The turquoise water below is mesmerizing, and the fossils in the canyon walls whisper stories from millions of years ago.

🏘️ Banff Town

Stroll through the iconic alpine streets, browse local shops, or enjoy a sweet treat. Lunch is on your own here. Whether you’re craving BeaverTails, a mountain café, or something upscale, Banff has it all.

🌊 Bow Falls & Surprise Corner

Bow Falls is where roaring water meets Hollywood history (yes, Marilyn Monroe once filmed here!). Just down the road, Surprise Corner offers one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in Banff, with the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel framed by lush forest and mountains.

🏔️ Lake Minnewanka

Glacial, vast, and deeply blue, Lake Minnewanka is a jewel of the Rockies. Surrounded by peaks and steeped in Indigenous history, it’s a place where you can feel the spirit of the mountains.

💎 Two Jack Lake

End the day with a peaceful stop at this picture-perfect lake. It’s the kind of spot that makes photographers swoon, with emerald waters, mountain backdrops, and vibrant reflections.
