Duration: 15 minutes

Lake Minnewanka

Drive the Minnewanka Loop to Lake Minnewanka, the largest lake in Banff National Park, then on to Two Jack Lake with its classic view of Mount Rundle. Your guide keeps watch along the way for elk, bighorn sheep, deer, and in season, bears.

Duration: 30 minutes

Hoodoos Trail

Take a short walk to the Hoodoos viewpoint, home to one of Banff National Park's red chairs. Look out over the hoodoo spires, the Bow River, and Mount Rundle as the valley opens up below.

Surprise Corner

From Surprise Corner on the slopes of Tunnel Mountain, look across the Bow River to the Fairmont Banff Springs, the "Castle in the Rockies," framed by forest and Sulphur Mountain behind it. It's one of the best-known photo spots in Banff.

Bow Falls

Stop at Bow Falls, the wide cascade just below the Fairmont Banff Springs where the Bow River tumbles toward its meeting with the Spray. Marilyn Monroe filmed scenes here for the 1954 film River of No Return.
