• Cochrane - As the journey departs from Calgary, travelers will pass through the delightful town of Cochrane, often referred to as the “Gateway to the Rockies.” Cameras should be ready to capture the stunning views of the sparkling Bow River and the renowned Cochrane Ranche. Look out for horses grazing on the rolling foothills as the scenery transitions from prairie landscapes to mountain vistas, setting the scene for an exciting Banff adventure.
• Canmore - After navigating through the foothills, the first official stop is in the charming town of Canmore at A&W—a wonderful introduction to Canadian flavors with the Rockies as a backdrop. This 30-minute break provides an opportunity to enjoy their famous root beer, breakfast platters, or coffee while taking in the initial spectacular mountain views of the journey.
• Johnston Canyon - This is the first opportunity to experience Banff’s stunning wilderness up close! Visitors have 1 hour and 15 minutes to hike the scenic trail to Johnston Canyon’s Lower Falls at their own pace. The well-maintained 1.1 km path meanders through the forest and along canyon catwalks, leading to the thunderous waterfall where the cool mist can be felt and stunning photos can be captured.
• Lake Louise - Prepare to be amazed upon arrival at the crown jewel of Banff National Park—the legendary Lake Louise. There is a full hour to absorb the breathtaking beauty of its famous turquoise waters, framed by the majestic Victoria Glacier. Stroll along the shoreline, capture postcard-perfect photos, or simply marvel at one of Canada’s most iconic landscapes.
• Banff Avenue - After a morning of natural wonders, enjoy a leisurely 90 minutes exploring the Town of Banff. Stroll down the picturesque Banff Avenue, where charming shops and inviting restaurants are nestled against a stunning mountain backdrop. This is a chance to savor local flavors—perhaps try Alberta’s famous Bison Burger or indulge in Cows Ice Cream, consistently voted Canada’s best (their creamy “Moo Crunch” is a crowd favorite!).
• Bow Falls - Before the journey back to Calgary begins, there will be a pause at the thunderous Bow Falls for a spectacular 20-minute photo stop. Witness the mighty Bow River cascading over layered rock formations, where the powerful rush of water creates a dramatic natural display. This iconic waterfall—famously featured in Hollywood films—offers one last opportunity to capture Banff’s raw beauty, with the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel gracing the backdrop.
• Crescent Heights Lookout Point - The Banff adventure concludes with a picture-perfect finale at Calgary’s beloved Crescent Heights Lookout Point. During this 15-minute stop, soak up sweeping views of the city skyline with the Bow River gleaming in the foreground and the Rockies still visible on the horizon—a perfect vantage point to reflect on the journey.
