Banff - Banff lies at the foot of Cascade Mountain, and is nestled in the Bow River Valley. The area is home to Banff National Park with its glacial lakes, forests, and resident bears, cougars and goats. If you'd like a view from above, but aren't too keen on helicopters, the Banff Gondola provides a hawk's-eye view of the valley and surrounding areas.
Lake Louise - This heavenly body of water reflects surrounding peaks and the Victoria Glacier in its mirror-like waters. Both the lake and village of Lake Louise are within the borders of Banff National Park.
Columbia Icefields - Take a trip north along the Icefields Parkway, voted one of the top ten drives in the world, to visit the Columbia Icefields for an unforgetable ride on an Ice Explorer.
This excursion onto the icy slopes of the Athabasca Glacier in a specially designed Brewster Ice Explorer stops in the middle of the glacier.
