- Moraine Lake - The Activity: At Moraine Lake, enjoy a walk along the shoreline and a brief (350m each way) ascent up the famous ‘Rockpile’ for the most breathtaking views of the stunning turquoise-blue lake below and the surrounding Ten Peaks – one of Canada’s most treasured sights.
Note: Access to Moraine Lake is seasonal due to the annual closure of Moraine Lake Road during winter (from mid-October to the end of May).
- Marble Canyon - The Activity: Cross the Continental Divide into British Columbia for a refreshing change of pace on the return to Banff town. This short, winding trail features footbridges over the canyon, offering views through limestone slot-canyon walls to the rushing turquoise waterfalls below. A rugged, impactful stop that adds a second province and National Park to your day.
- Banff - The Activity: Enjoy a ‘free time’ stop in the heart of Banff town. You will be dropped off centrally, allowing you to explore local boutiques, artisan galleries, or the scenic Bow River pathways at your leisure. It’s a wonderful chance to pick up a mountain-town souvenir or a local treat before returning to Calgary.
