In a couple minutes, we’ll see Lake Louise. Spanning 222 acres and reaching depths of 230 feet, there’s plenty of this lake to go around. Long before the Canadian Pacific Railway came through here, the Stoney Nakoda used this lake to fish. They called it “Horâ Juthin Îmne,” which meant “Lake of Little Fishes.

Morant's Curve
It gets its name from Nicholas Morant, a staff photographer for the Canadian Pacific Railway. Morant took photos of this spot in the middle of the 20th century. Those photos were then reprinted on just about every promotional pamphlet and ad for Banff! After that, tourists came up here just to see what Morant saw through his lens.

Coming up soon is the Castle Lookout Trail. This 5-mile hike takes 3-4 hours to complete, and it’s a challenging one. But hikers who make it up the side of Castle Mountain certainly don’t regret the journey! The trail boasts vistas of the Bow River and the long line of Rockies beyond. In fact, climbers say the end of Castle Lookout Trail is one of the best panoramic views in all of Banff National Park.
Duration: 10 minutes

Another breathtaking hike is coming up in a moment! This moderately challenging trail winds through Moose Meadows and up to springs known as the Ink Pots. It takes about three hours and stretches over five miles, but it’s the 1,100 feet of elevation gain you’ll feel if you hike this trail!
