Explore the Best of the Canadian Rockies: Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge & Johnston Canyon Tour
The Canadian Rockies offer some of the most stunning landscapes in the world, with crystal-clear lakes, towering mountains, dense forests, and incredible wildlife. Here's a tour of the best highlights in the region:

1. Lake Louise
Lake Louise is one of the most iconic destinations in the Canadian Rockies. The lake’s shimmering turquoise waters are surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks and glaciers. The lake is also home to the luxurious Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, where visitors can enjoy fine dining, or simply relax and enjoy the spectacular views.

Activities:
Canoeing on the lake during the summer months
Hiking trails like the Lake Agnes Tea House trail
Winter activities such as ice skating, snowshoeing, and skiing

2. Moraine Lake
A short drive from Lake Louise, Moraine Lake is equally famous for its vibrant turquoise waters framed by the stunning Valley of the Ten Peaks. It’s especially beautiful during sunrise and sunset when the surrounding mountains reflect off the water’s surface.

Activities:
Canoeing (summer months)
Photography—this spot is one of the most photographed in Canada
Hiking, including the Rockpile Trail for a panoramic view of the lake

3. Emerald Lake
Emerald Lake, located in Yoho National Park, is known for its striking green waters, created by mineral-rich runoff from the surrounding mountains. It’s a quieter, more serene spot compared to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, perfect for those looking for a peaceful escape.

Activities:
Canoeing on the lake
Scenic walks along the shoreline
Hiking trails like the Emerald Lake Loop

4. Natural Bridge
Also located in Yoho National Park, the Natural Bridge is a stunning rock formation where the Kicking Horse River has carved out a bridge of stone. It’s a great spot for photos, as the water rushes dramatically underneath the arch.

Activities:
Short walk to the bridge from the parking area
Photographing the river and surrounding scenery

5. Johnston Canyon
A beautiful spot for hiking, Johnston Canyon is a deep, narrow gorge with waterfalls cascading down its rock walls. The trail follows the canyon’s path, leading to both the Lower Falls and Upper Falls. It’s particularly breathtaking in the fall when the leaves turn vibrant colors, or in winter when the waterfalls freeze into ice sculptures.

Activities:
Hiking the Johnston Canyon Trail
Ice walking (in winter)
Photography of the waterfalls
