Itinerary
Vermilion Lakes
Cycle from the Banff Train Station to Vermilion Lakes (or Lake Vermilion). A favored spot by photographers where the lakes reflect the iconic Mount Rundle that looms over the town of Banff. The three lakes are situated west of Banff and fed by the Bow River in the Canadian Rockies.
Bow Falls
Cruising through the Town of Banff, across the Bow river, next stop is Bow Falls. A major cascading waterfall on the Bow River, just before the junction of Spray River, Bow Falls is set in a big river valley eroded by past glaciers, and is a local landmark.
Banff Springs Golf Course
A bicycle ride around the golf course loop begins with an inspired start below the cascading waters of Bow Falls. From here, the route crosses just about every type of mountain scenery. The slopes of Mount Rundle and Tunnel Mountain tower over riders as the road turns and the Bow River suddenly appears. Not just a favorite place for golfers to enjoy one of the worlds top-rated courses, elk, deer and even bears are often spotted crazing and passing through the stunning corridor.

Perfect Day 1 in Banff!
Beth was a wonderful guide. We saw lakes, rivers, waterfalls and even an elk and her calf! The stops were just the right length, enough time to take a few pictures, learn a few things about the area and then hop back on our bikes for the next stretch. Stops were perfectly spaced between riding through spectacular scenery. The e-bikes made it easy.
