Overview
Discover Banff's most spectacular sights — the ones Roam Transit doesn't reach. This full-day tour takes you far beyond the transit routes, through three legendary highways in a single unforgettable journey.
Start at Bow Valley parkway for scenic drive with viewpoints instead of taking Trans-Canada Highway, then wander the still waters and quiet wetlands of Backswamp Viewpoint, and continue to the turquoise-carved Marble Canyon, before capturing the iconic views at Morant's Curve. Break for lunch in charming Lake Louise village.
Visit the brilliant turquoise waters of Emerald Lake and rushing river at Natural Bridge in Yoho Park.
Then venture north along the Icefields Parkway — one of the world's most scenic drives — to see the hanging ice of Crowfoot Glacier, the glacial-blue waters of Bow Lake and Peyto Lake.
Unforgettable stops, small groups, a comfortable vehicle, a local guide/host, and the Rockies at their finest.
