Admission ticket included

Bow Lake is one of the most beautiful glacier-fed lakes along the world-famous Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park. Surrounded by towering mountain peaks, hanging glaciers, and dramatic alpine scenery, the lake is known for its crystal-clear turquoise water created by glacial melt from the Bow Glacier. Located at an elevation of over 1,900 meters, Bow Lake offers breathtaking panoramic views and incredible photo opportunities throughout the year. During summer, visitors can enjoy peaceful lakeside walks, wildlife sightings, and reflections of Crowfoot Mountain on the calm water.

Crowfoot Glacier

Admission ticket included

Crowfoot Glacier Viewpoint is a spectacular roadside stop located along the Icefields Parkway near Bow Lake in Banff National Park. The viewpoint offers incredible views of the famous Crowfoot Glacier, which hangs dramatically on the side of Crowfoot Mountain. The glacier was originally named for its unique three-toed shape resembling a crow’s foot, although one “toe” has gradually melted over time due to natural glacial retreat.

Peyto Lake

Peyto Lake is one of the most iconic and photographed lakes in the Canadian Rockies, famous for its brilliant turquoise color and breathtaking mountain scenery. Located in Banff National Park along the Icefields Parkway, the lake is fed by glacial meltwaters carrying fine rock particles that create its vibrant blue appearance during summer months. From the viewpoint, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the lake’s unique wolf-head shape surrounded by towering peaks, dense forests, and untouched wilderness.

Waterfowl Lakes

Waterfowl Lakes is a breathtaking scenic area located along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park, known for its peaceful atmosphere and stunning mountain landscapes. The lakes feature vibrant emerald and turquoise waters surrounded by towering peaks, dense forests, and alpine wilderness.
