• Johnston Canyon - Note: After June 1st, this attraction will be replaced by Moraine Lake. Johnston Creek begins north of Castle Mountain in a glacial valley southwest of Badger Pass. The creek travels through a gorge known as Johnston Canyon. As it nears the Bow River, it passes through a large canyon carved by erosion over millennia. The creek has cut through limestone rock, creating sheer canyon walls, waterfalls, tunnels, and pools.
• Castle Mountain - Castle Mountain is situated within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, roughly midway between Banff and Lake Louise. Named in 1858 by James Hector for its castle-like appearance.
• Moraine Lake - Note: Moraine Lake is accessible after June 1st. Moraine Lake is a renowned glacially-fed lake located in the heart of Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, surrounded by the towering peaks of the Valley of the Ten Peaks.
• Lake Louise - Lake Louise is a glacial lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and wife of the Marquess of Lorne, Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883. The lake’s turquoise color is due to rock flour carried into it by meltwater from the glaciers overlooking the lake. The lake covers 0.8 km² and drains through the 3 km long Louise Creek into the Bow River.
• Lake Louise Visitor Information Centre - The village of Lake Louise is the highest mini town with an elevation of 1,661 m. Visitors can enjoy lunch, browse the shops, and explore the visitor center around the mini square. It’s a great spot to recharge before visiting the next three lakes on the tour.
• Crowfoot Glacier - Early explorers named the glacier Crowfoot because its three sections of ice resembled a crow’s foot on the mountain. Although one of the three “toes” has receded and disappeared, the glacier remains spectacular.

The Crowfoot Glacier is perched above Bow Lake, offering stunning photo opportunities for those traveling the Icefields Parkway.

The magnificent Crowfoot Glacier can be seen from a lookout point on the renowned Icefields Parkway, about 34 km (21 mi) north of Lake Louise. Attached to the northeastern side of Crowfoot Mountain, overlooking Bow Lake, the glacier’s runoff feeds into the Bow River, which flows from Banff National Park through Calgary to the Alberta prairies.

• Bow Lake - Bow Lake is one of the many lakes along the Icefields Parkway and a popular stop for visitors to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. The Canadian Rockies are known for their breathtaking vistas and lakes, and Bow Lake is highly recommended for a stop to stretch your legs on the Icefields Parkway.

A short walk along the lakeshore trail offers a family-friendly hike, or longer hikes around Bow Lake provide a more complete day. Whatever you choose, don’t miss Bow Lake.

• Peyto Lake - Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, near the Icefields Parkway. Named after Bill Peyto, an early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area, the lake is situated in a valley of the Waputik Range, between Caldron Peak, Peyto Peak, and Mount Jimmy Simpson, at an elevation of 1,860 m (6,100 ft). During summer, large amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake from a nearby glacier, giving it a unique bright turquoise color. Due to its vibrant color, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and the area around the lake is a popular sightseeing spot. The lake is best viewed from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefields Parkway. Peyto Lake is fed by Peyto Creek, which drains water from Caldron Lake and Peyto Glacier (part of the Wapta Icefield). Peyto Lake is the source of the Mistaya River, which flows northwest from the lake’s outflow.
• Emerald Lake - Emerald Lake is a freshwater lake located in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, Canada. It is surrounded by the mountains of the President Range.
• Natural Bridge - Natural Bridge is an impressive natural rock formation spanning the flow of the Kicking Horse River west of Field, where the slower-moving waters from the Field valley flats begin their descent through a canyon to join the Amiskwi River.

Sculpted by the erosive forces of rushing water over what was once a waterfall, the Natural Bridge is a powerful reminder of water’s influence in shaping the landscape. Softer rock beneath the Natural Bridge’s hard limestone band eroded more quickly, widening fissures in the rock until the water flow was diverted below the outcrop.

• Vermillion Lakes Drive - The Vermilion Lakes are a series of lakes located immediately west of Banff, Alberta, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. The three lakes are formed in the Bow River valley, within Banff National Park, at the foot of Mount Norquay. The area offers wildlife viewing opportunities and breathtaking scenery. With spectacular views of Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain, the proximity of these lakes to town makes them a fantastic place to watch sunrise or sunset.
