water, picnic, dive, mountain bike, hike, cross-country ski
or snowshoe.

Bow Valley Parkway (Hwy 1A)

and roadside interpretative panels, as well as quaint cottage accommodation along the way. The road is narrow and curvy with magnificent scenery and wildlife.

Lake Louise
You can spend 1 hour
The most famous lake in Banff National Park. The emerald hues and glacial backdrop of Lake Louise have wowed visitors since the 1890s. The lake offers photographic moments, a lakeshore stroll, canoeing and horseback riding. Best time to visit is before 11 am or after 5 pm.

Lake Moraine
You can spend 1 hour
Known as the Valley of the Ten Peaks, this area offers hiking, paddling, and dramatic photographic opportunities. Also it featured on the Canadian 20 dollar bill. Best time to visit is before 11 am or after 5 pm.

Bow Summit and Peyto Lake
You can spend 1.5 to 2 hours
Awesome turquoise colour water of the Peyto Lake will leave you gasping for your breath. Excellent photography opportunity. Bow Summit is the height of land between the Bow River system, flowing to Banff, and the Mistaya River system. Reach Peyto Lake after a short uphill walk and enjoy views of the brilliantly turquoise, glacial fed lake.

Bow Lake and Bow Glacier
You can spend 1 hour
Bow Lake is one of the more scenic and accessible lakes for fishing. The turquoise blue water is the source of the Bow River. From here you can view the majestic Bow Glacier.

Jasper National Park
Columbia Ice field & Athabasca Glacier
You can spend 3 to 4 hours
The Athabasca is the most-visited glacier on the North American continent. Situated across from the Ice field Centre, its ice is in continuous motion, creeping forward at the rate of several centimetres per year. Spilling from the Columbia Ice field over three giant bedrock steps, the glacier flows down the valley like a frozen, slow-moving river. Because of a warming climate, the Athabasca Glacier has been receding or melting for the last 125 years. Losing half its volume and retreating more than 1.5 kms, the shrinking glacier has left a moonscape of rocky moraines in its wake.
Take a ride in the Ice Explorer vehicle to the Columbia Ice field which is the most accessible glacier in the world for experience of a lifetime.

Mt Edith Cavell
You can spend 3 to 4 hours
Impressive 3300 meter high peak offers tourists great chance to explore the mountains. The Cavell Road, starting at kilometre 13 along the old parkway, is a twisting, turning 14 kilometre route through sub-alpine forests to the slopes of Mt. Edith Cavell.

Annette Lake
You can spend 1 to 1.5 hours
Lake Annette, in the shadow of Mount Temple, shows that distinctive turquoise-green colour that is typical of beautiful Canadian Rockies' lakes. Much smaller than the much-visited nearby Moraine Lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, Lake Annette is about 5.7 km from the trailhead. If you value peace and quiet over ease of access, Lake Annette is a decent option.

Maligne Canyon
You can spend 1.5 to 2 hours
Waterfalls, fossils, potholes, underground stream outlets, the nests of ravens and rare black swifts, unexpectedly lush plant life and the startling effects of frost action - these are just some of the wonders of Maligne Canyon. Swirling, churning water has worn the canyon, only two metres across at some points, to a depth of more than 50 metres.
Maligne Lake Boat Tour Maligne Lake is the largest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies. Ringed by snow-and-ice-capped mountains, the 22 km long lake stretches past serene Spirit Island right to the melt-water channels of Coronet Glacier. Not to be missed is the boat ride which takes you to Spirit Island. One of the most popular pictures in the Canadian Rockies is the image of Spirit Island in the middle of Maligne Lake. The island is 14 kilometres up-lake and there is no road or trail access.

Pyramid Lake & Patricia Lake
You can spend 1 to 1.5 hours
These lakes located close to Jasper downtown offer tourists peace and solitude and great photography and fishing opportunities.

Athabasca Falls
You can spend 2 hours
The 23-metre Athabasca Falls is not very high by Canadian Rockies standards, but the size of the river makes it one of the most powerful falls to be found in the mountain national parks. Flowing from the glaciers of the Columbia Ice field, the Athabasca River is the largest river system in Jasper.

Sunwapta Falls
You can spend 1 to 1.5 hours
A torrent of plunging water not far from the Ice fields Parkway, Sunwapta Falls is just one of the many waterfalls in Jasper created by hanging valleys.

Medicine Lake
You can spend 1 hour
Summer visitors assume that Medicine is a normal mountain lake, but it isn't. During the summer, glacier melt waters flood the lake, sometimes overflowing it. In fall and winter the lake disappears, becoming a mudflat with scattered pools of water connected by a stream.

More Tourist attractions There are multiple other easy, medium and difficult trails in Banff National Park suited according to your requirement.
Both the parks offer tourists wildlife sightings in plenty. The commonly sighted wildlife includes black bears, grizzly bears, caribou, elk, deer, Mountain goat, Ram, Moose, ground squirrel etc.
