Johnston Canyon Entrance

Highlight • Canyon

Johnston Canyon is a true gem and also one of the most popular spots in Banff National Park. A foot trail leads along the shore of Johnston Creek deep into a tall canyon. You explore beautiful waterfalls and scenic pools. The biggest waterfalls are Lower Falls and Upper Falls. So it is definitely worth to get off your bike and do a little hike.

Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise

Highlight • Rest Area

The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise perches on the shores of Lake Louise between towering mountain peaks and across from the majestic Victoria Glacier. Nestled in the heart of Banff National Park and the Canadian Rockies, this spectacular mountain hotel boasts elegant guestrooms, world-class dining, an award-winning spa and endless outdoor recreational activities.

Lake Louise

Highlight • Lake

One of Canada's most famous locations, Lake Louise (known in the Stoney Nakoda language as Ho-run-num-nay, meaning “Lake of the Little Fishes”) shines with its glacier-fed turquoise waters. The lake serves as a base for hiking, summer canoeing, and winter skiing. With limited parking and shuttle options required during peak season, planning ahead will turn a visit into a memorable encounter with one of the Rockies’ most iconic landscapes. As others have mentioned, it does get very busy, so arriving early is a great way to beat the crowds and enjoy a bit of solitude along the shoreline.
