  • Castle Lookout (Pass by)

    Castle Mountain—an unmistakable, castle-shaped peak of layered limestone and dolomite—will sweep past your window as you drive by, a dramatic roadside landmark to admire in a blink. Named for its turret-like summits, it was a notable landmark for Indigenous peoples and early explorers and remains an iconic feature along the Bow Valley Parkway.

    Emerald Lake

    Emerald Lake is a stunning alpine lake located in Yoho National Park, BC, Canada. As its name suggests, Emerald Lake is known for its mesmerizing emerald-green waters. The color is a result of light reflecting off limestone deposits and glacial silt suspended in the water, creating a vivid and enchanting hue.
