• Kootenay National Park - This beautiful park will be passed by, with opportunities to explore various attractions along the route.
• Marble Canyon - Located in Kootenay National Park, British Columbia, Marble Canyon is a breathtaking natural wonder where Tokumm Creek has carved a narrow, deep gorge into the limestone. Just off Highway 93, the canyon offers a short and easy 1.4 km round-trip trail with several footbridges, providing dramatic views of the turquoise creek below. The trail is family-friendly and features interpretive signs that explain the area’s geology, history, and recovery from a significant forest fire in 2003. At the trail’s end, a striking waterfall vanishes into a hidden hole in the canyon floor. Open year-round, Marble Canyon is equally stunning in the vibrant greens of summer and the icy stillness of winter, making it a perfect stop for hikers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts.
• Paint Pots - The Paint Pots are a vibrant and easy stop in Kootenay National Park, where geology, ecology, and Indigenous heritage meet. A short walk leads through the forest, across creek crossings, past colorful ochre mudbeds, and to mineral-rich pools that inspire curiosity and wonder. It’s a worthwhile visit, especially when combined with a loop to Marble Canyon.
• Radium Hot Springs - Radium Hot Springs offers two contrasting yet complementary pool experiences—the warm, mineral-rich hot soak and the cool recreational swimming pool—set within a dramatic canyon landscape. With modern amenities, universal accessibility, and year-round operation, it’s ideal for families, relaxation seekers, or as a rejuvenating stop during a drive through the picturesque Kootenay Rockies. Single-entry passes start at approximately $17.50 for adults, with discounts for seniors, youth, and families; day passes and annual passes are also available (Entry fee not included).
• Radium Hot Springs - An optional stop for lunch in town.
• Olive Lake - Olive Lake is a quick, peaceful, and accessible natural stop along the Kootenay corridor—offering emerald waters, gentle trails, and picnic-ready scenery. It’s perfect for stretching your legs, enjoying a snack, or simply taking in the alpine forest and trout-filled lake. Assistance is available for adding it to a full day of activities around Radium or beyond.
• Kootenay National Park - The Kootenay Valley Viewpoint is a must-visit scenic stop on the Banff–Windermere Highway, offering easy access to stunning mountain and river views. It’s an ideal photo stop, picnic spot, or short pause for wildlife spotting.
• Mount Norquay Lookout - Mount Norquay Lookout offers effortless, high-altitude rewards with sweeping views over Banff town and the surrounding Bow Valley, accessible by car or summer chairlift. At the summit, the Cliffhouse Bistro invites relaxation with refreshments amid scenic grandeur. The area is a quieter alternative to busier viewpoints, and wildlife encounters, particularly with bighorn sheep, are common along the alpine drive.
