Overview

Johnston Canyon's Magic: Traverse the gentle trails of Johnston Canyon, where autumn leaves crunch beneath your feet. Walk beside cascading waterfalls that are just beginning to take their frozen formations, and breathe in the crisp, mountain air.

Fall at Lake Louise: Be captivated by the tapestry of autumn colours & snow-capped peaks reflecting on the neon blue waters of the legendary Lake Louise. From gentle lakeside strolls to moments of reflection in its pristine surroundings, it’s a scene straight out of a postcard.

Emerald Lake’s Serene Beauty: Dive deep into nature’s splendour at Emerald Lake. With its vibrant blue-green waters set against a backdrop of golden larch trees, it’s a photographer’s dream and a traveller’s delight.

Wildlife Wonders: Our journey through Banff National Park’s backroads offers unrivalled opportunities to spot its enchanting inhabitants amidst the fall colours.
