Those who want a bit more adventure can take a short 1.1 km (15 min one way) hike to Fairview Lookout for a beautiful elevated view of the lake and hotel. A popular spot for photos, light walks, and lakeside relaxation.
Peyto Lake – one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the Canadian Rockies! From the observation deck, you’ll see the lake’s unique wolf-head shape and its bright turquoise color, created by glacial rock flour mixing with the water. Surrounded by dramatic mountain peaks and pine forests, this stop offers one of the best photo opportunities in Banff National Park.
Bow Lake – a peaceful and stunning mountain lake along the Icefields Parkway. Visitors can enjoy incredible views of glaciers, rugged peaks, and crystal-clear turquoise water. It’s a perfect spot for photos, a short walk along the shore, or simply to relax and take in the calm beauty of the Rockies.
Crowfoot Glacier – a fascinating natural landmark named for its original shape resembling a crow’s foot. Although part of the glacier has melted over time, you can still admire its massive ice formations and the way it glistens on the slopes of Crowfoot Mountain. The viewpoint offers spectacular scenery and a great chance to see one of Banff National Park’s iconic glaciers up close
