Day Trip: Hidden Gems of the Canadian Rockies

Start your adventure with a refreshing walk through Johnston Canyon, where catwalks lead you alongside rushing waters and waterfalls nestled within dramatic cliffs. Next, visit the lesser-known but equally stunning Marble Canyon, with its narrow limestone gorge and deep turquoise waters. Continue to Banff Town, where you’ll enjoy free time to explore local shops and have lunch at your own pace.

In the afternoon, visit the iconic Bow Falls and Surprise Corner, famous for their views of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Then, take in the serenity of Lake Minnewanka, a glacial lake surrounded by rugged mountain peaks. Wrap up your day with a quick scenic stop at Two Jack Lake—a peaceful spot perfect for final photos before returning.

This well-paced tour combines light walking, beautiful landscapes, and time to relax, making it ideal for all ages.
