Top Places to Visit

The Canadian Rockies is a behemoth that stretches across over 600 acres in Canada’s Alberta province. So admittedly there are numerous places of interest along the way. But the following places are not to be missed.

Vermilion Lake

This is technically not one lake but rather a system of lakes that became a single entity due to the low-lying marshland that separated them.  Reflecting the beautiful Mt. Rundle and Sulphur Mountain from the frozen waters, this is a good place for wildlife watching, hiking and canoeing (weather permitting).

Tip: Visit during the sunset to catch a glimpse of the beautiful rays of sun bouncing off the waters.

Johnston Canyon

Most tourists who visit Banff take this hike which traverses along a limestone canyon. And if you visit it during the snowy season, you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the frozen waterfall. The canyon was formed by a small creek that empties into the Bow River, a little way from Banff. While the hike is not arduous, it is also not for the faint of heart and needs a little advance preparation. 

Tip: While it is usually very crowded with tourists during the day, early morning and late afternoons might be good times to visit.

Moraine Lake

Seen from the vantage point of the Valley of Ten Peaks, this glacially-fed lake is every Zen lover’s paradise. This lake is so crystal clear that there is visibility for up to 20 feet into its depths. It has immense cultural significance for Canadians and is on the reverse of their 20-dollar bill. It also features as one of the background screensavers of Windows 7 computers.

Tip: Check before you plan a visit as the lake is only open during certain times and days of the year.

Lake Louise

Called as the lake of the little fishes, this is undoubtedly another stunning lake within Banff National Park. There are several hiking trails that are also open to biking and horseback riding during the summer and open to snowmobiles and sledding during the winter.

Tip: Arrive early and rent a canoe to go out into the water and enjoy its serenity as you waddle to its center.

Peyto Lake

You will be mesmerized by this lake with a water that is so deeply turquoise that you’ll wonder if it is for real. The lake gets its color from the glacial rock flour that flow from the melting glaciers.
