What will the day look like? (3-4 hours)
Convenient Hotel Pick Up in Canmore & Banff
Sit back and enjoy the 360 degree mountain views while your guide safely navigates the snowy mountain roads.
Lake Minnewanka Scenic Loop - 60 minutes
Lake Minnewanka is Banff's largest lake, and holds many secrets and stories beneath its frigid waters! Your guide will paint a picture of the history, both new and old, that this area has seen while traveling past alpine lakes and snow covered pine forest. Potential for light hiking and
snowshoeing (rentals extra).
Mt. Norquay Lookout - 15 minutes
Sitting high up in the mountain overlooking the town of Banff is Mt. Norquay, the parks oldest ski hill! This high alpine road provides the perfect place to see the scale of the peaks and valleys that surround this historic town.
Bow Falls - 15 minutes
The Bow River is known for its calm, green waters, perfect for mellow paddle trips and polar plunges. These powerful, icy falls provide a whole different perspective of the river, especially in the winter!
Surprise Corner Viewpoint - 10 minutes
The Surprise Corner Viewpoint provides a cool overlook of the falls we just visited and a wider view of the river before and after the falls.
Hoodoos Lookout - 15 minutes
Known for these geological features sitting above the bow river, this viewpoint takes on a whole new life in the winter, when the Hoodoos are snow capped and the frozen river sits calmly in the background.
Vermilion Lakes Scenic Drive - 15 minutes
This is a beautiful wetland area just outside the town of Banff, home to many different (and shy!) animal species and one of the best views of Mt. Rundle in all of Banff!
