a glacial lake within Banff National Park. The vivid turquoise waters of it have earned a worldwide reputation and the Victoria Glacier is the majestic mountain backdrop. Nevertheless, many are unaware that during winter, the lake exhibits breathtaking beauty, turning into a wonderland of ice and snow. You can enjoy ice skating on the lake.
What makes this place additionally special is the fact that it can only be accessible for a brief time each year (only open from June to early October). Moraine Lake is the majesty of nature, this strikingly turquoise-blue Moraine lake sits in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Only a short walk from the parking lot to the lake. This is one place you definitely cannot miss in Banff. * Visit Moraine Lake from Jun to Oct 13th, visit Bow Lake in winter
The lower spiral tunnels in Yoho National Park were the ingenious early 20th-century resolve to climb or descend the impossible 4.5-percent grade to cross Kicking Horse Pass by train. If you are lucky, you can watch long freight trains cross themselves as they travel the tunnels in different directions at the same time.
Having lunch here for 1 hour
Located in the center of Yoho National Park, Emerald Lake's vivid emerald color is derived from tiny glacial debris particles called rock flour. This lake is unique because of its gorgeous green water. It is impossible to describe the verdant surroundings and snow-capped Rockies as a backdrop. In winter, the lake was largely frozen in ice, and the landscape was blanketed in untouched snow.
Located eight kilometers south of Emerald Lake Lodge, Natural Bridge is an impressive natural rock formation that spans the flow of the Kicking Horse River west of Field. Visiting Natural Bridge in the winter is even more incredible. When the roaring waterfall freezes, ice spikes allow you to walk onto the frozen Kicking Horse River and see the Natural Bridge from below.
Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. This is one of the most popular lakes in the Banff National Park. The lake gets its stunning blue color from the glacial rock flour that flows into it from the surrounding Peyto Glacier. In winter, it will be frozen and covered in snow.
(Winter only )Bow Lake is one of the largest lakes in Banff National Park and it is a glacier-fed lake, that is incredibly gorgeous. Its turquoise coloring is due to glacial till (it’s the alternative to Moraine Lake from Oct 14th to end of May)

If I had one day in Banff, this is the tour I would have picked. You get to do it all a little bit and get to see some amazing views of nature. Our tour guide was very respectful and helpful all along and I loved hearing some interesting facts through the day.
The trip was very well planned and Keneth was a terrific guide. He was very informative on the whole trip.
Our tour guide Gordon was absolutely phenomenal! He was funny, kind, and knowledgeable about our tour. The bus was very clean and comfortable. 10/10 recommend!!
Could not have been happier with Rockies Journey. We had a different tour operator cancel on us the day before and quickly booked with Rockies Journey and they were beyond accomodating meeting our needs (big thanks to Cailyn). Ken Ken was our guide and he was outstanding - friendly, fun and informative. Would use Rockies and Ken Ken again in a heartbeat.
It was a long but amazing day. Jesse was very informative as our tour guide, and a great photographer as well for our family pictures. We would highly recommend taking one of their tours.
We had a great time on this tour! Jesse was a fun, cheery, and informative guide and Dash was a great driver. We only had two days in Banff and wanted to see as much of it as possible so this tour was perfect! It was a long day, but it really didn’t feel like too much. We went with 3 children, 15,13 & 9 and they enjoyed it as well. We enjoyed the restaurant that Jesse recommended for lunch and at every stop he went above and beyond to help us get the best spots to view from. All in all highly recommendable.
My wife and I really enjoyed our experience and the tour of the four lakes. Our guide/driver Kenneth was very personable and friendly. He provided lots of information about the area, shared insights on less crowded viewing areas and often took pictures for us. Save the parking hassles, it’s worth it to use a bus tour such as this one. Highly recommended!
My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with Rockies Journey. It was our first time in Alberta, so we chose the 4 Lakes Tour to make the most of our time here, and it was definitely the right decision. Everything was very well organized, and our guide, Jesse, was fantastic. He shared lots of interesting information about each stop and was also kind enough to help us take photos. Jesse is a five-star guide, and we would definitely recommend this tour!
This was a very well organized itinerary. No stress of driving or finding parking. Ray was a wonderful tour guide. Highly recommend!
This tour was a wonderful experience! Everything ran smoothly. Small group. Boyd was awesome. He dedicated his time to be of assistance, staying close and available in case anyone needed anything and he offered to take pictures and showed us the best spots! He is kind and knowledgeable. The choices of places visited are wonderful! Love it!
