Bow Valley Parkway (pass by)

The old Trans Canada Highway 1A drive connecting Banff and Lake Louise is dramatically framed by impressive peaks and provides a slower, more relaxed alternative than the fast Highway 1. There are many scenic viewpoints along the route. Two of the most iconic are the views of Castle Mountain and Morant's Curve where you can attempt to reproduce the famous historic photograph used to market visiting the Park by train.The most visited attraction along the route is Johnston Canyon, a relatively easy hike that includes metal walkways bolted to canyon walls. The Lower Falls is a scenic reward for completing the trail. Those wanting more can continue an uphill hike to the Upper Falls.The Bow Valley Parkway is an excellent place to view wildlife.

Johnston Canyon

One of the most popular natural attractions in Banff National Park is the short hike to Johnston Canyon. It's a relatively easy 1.1 km (1 mile) walk along the trail and steel catwalks built into the canyon walls to the Lower Falls, where you have the option to crouch to go through a short tunnel to a final viewing platform.Continue on the trail a bit further (and steeper) to the Upper Falls. In the summertime, the cool canyon provides a natural air-conditioning affect with the fine mist from the falls. In the winter, all this freezes and turns into an icy landscape of frozen waterfalls and snowed covered trees.

Parker Ridge Trail

Located close to the Icefield Centre, Parker Ridge is a popular short but steep hike. The reward for walking to the edge of the ridge is the superb views of the Saskatchewan Glacier which fills the valley behind.Because of the elevation of 6,000 feet, the hike may be more tiring than you would expect. Just take your time, and take frequent rests if feeling short of breath. The view is worth it and most people will spend about 1 1/2 - 2 hours enjoying the experience. It is common to find snow on the trail year-round.

Crowfoot Glacier

Located alongside Bow Lake, Crowfoot Glacier is a fine example of a hanging glacier and looks like it is stuck onto the face of the mountain.

20 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Bow Lake

Bow Lake is fed by the Bow Glacier which sits above it. And all of that water running out of the lake becomes the Bow River which runs through Banff National Park and into Calgary. An historic lodge sits beside the lake, Num Ti Jah, which was built by Jimmy Simpson, one of Banff's legendary early guides.Because only relatively small trees were available, the hand-built log building was constructed in an unusual hexagonal shape to begin with. In its time it was the largest log building in the world. Bow Lake is an excellent photo stop.

20 minutes Admission Ticket Free

Rent a canoe or take the Lake Louise Sightseeing Gondola for a more leisurely pace.

30 minutes Admission Ticket Free
