Itinerary
1
Peyto Lake
The Activity: We start at the highest, most distant point of the drive along the Icefields Parkway to beat the midday crowds. A short, 1.4km (round-trip) trail brings us to the Peyto Lake Viewpoint for an elevated view of the glacier-fed pool below.
Duration: 45 mins.
45 minutes
2
Bow Lake
The Activity: As we head back in the direction of Lake Louise, we make a quick stop at Bow Lake, also offering a view of the Crowfoot Glacier high above.
Duration: 15 mins.
15 minutes
3
Lake Louise
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.
Duration: 1 hour.
1 hour
4
Moraine Lake
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 toward Banff, we have the option for a quick pitstop at Lake Louise Village.
Duration: 1 hour.
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.
1 hour
5
Bow Valley Parkway
The Return – via the Bow Valley Parkway
The Activity: Time permitting, we transition to the Bow Valley Parkway for part of the leg back toward 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 utilize the most scenic accessible portions of the route.
