From Banff & Canmore: Lake Louise, Peyto Lake & Johnston Canyon Tour - Small Group

Hotel pickup in Banff or Canmore,
then on to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake

After pickup from your hotel in Banff or Canmore, travel in an air-conditioned vehicle (SUV or minibus) with panoramic windows. With up to 12 guests in a 15-seat van, the small group has time to enjoy each stop.

First, explore turquoise Lake Louise, framed by Mount Victoria, with your guide for about 1 hour. Then spend about 1.5 hours at Moraine Lake, the glacier-fed lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks.

Follow the Icefields Parkway
to Bow Lake and Peyto Lake

Drive along the Icefields Parkway and stop at the Crowfoot Glacier viewpoint to see the glacier above Bow Lake. Spend about 30 minutes at Bow Lake, which reflects Crowfoot Mountain and the Bow Glacier, and about 30 minutes at turquoise, wolf-shaped Peyto Lake with a short hike to the viewpoint.

Walk the Johnston Canyon trail to the falls

Spend about 1 hour walking the Johnston Canyon trail along limestone cliffs to the Lower Falls. Depending on the day, you may also stop at the Marble Canyon trailhead, and you can admire one of the area’s best-known peaks from the Castle Mountain viewpoint between Banff and Lake Louise.

End the day at Bow Falls
and the Mount Norquay viewpoint

Enjoy the rapids and mountain scenery at Bow Falls on the Bow River near Banff for about 20 minutes. Finally, take in the whole Banff valley from the Mount Norquay viewpoint, take photos and return to Banff or Canmore.
