Canadian Rockies: 3 National Parks Adventures

Three Parks. Five Wonders. One Unforgettable Day

11 hours Small group Hotel pickup

Why experience just one national park when you can discover three of Canada's most spectacular national parks in one unforgettable day? Journey beyond the traditional Banff sightseeing route and deep into the Canadian Rockies as we explore the incredible landscapes of Banff, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks. Walk above a turquoise mountain canyon. Stand beneath one of Canada's highest waterfalls. Discover the brilliant waters of Emerald Lake. Look down upon world-famous Peyto Lake. This is the Canadian Rockies on a grand scale.

Tour Itinerary

8:00 AM
Hotel pickup

Pickup from select Calgary Hotels & Banff hotels.

8:45 AM
Marble Canyon

Your adventure takes you into Kootenay National Park and the spectacular Marble Canyon. Walk across bridges suspended above the canyon and look down as the brilliant turquoise waters of Tokumm Creek rush through the narrow limestone gorge below. Surrounded by rugged wilderness and towering mountains, this is one of the Canadian Rockies' hidden treasures—and an incredible way to begin your journey.

10:00 AM
Emerald Lake

Welcome to one of the most beautiful lakes in the Canadian Rockies. Hidden among the mountains of Yoho National Park, Emerald Lake is famous for its extraordinary emerald-coloured water and breathtaking alpine setting. You'll have plenty of time to explore the shoreline, capture incredible photos or simply find the perfect spot to take it all in. Want to make the experience even more memorable? When conditions and rentals permit, grab a paddle and canoe across the brilliant waters of Emerald Lake, surrounded by towering Rocky Mountain peaks.

1:00 PM
Lake Louise Village

Take a break in the heart of the Rockies. Grab lunch, snacks or refreshments, stretch your legs and recharge before heading back into the mountains for the next part of your adventure.

2:30 PM
Takakkaw Falls

Hear it. Feel it. Experience it. Deep inside Yoho National Park, the spectacular Takakkaw Falls crashes dramatically from the cliffs high above. Fed by glacial meltwater, it's one of Canada's highest waterfalls—and you'll get remarkably close to the action. Walk toward the falls, feel the mist in the mountain air and experience the incredible power of one of the Canadian Rockies' greatest natural wonders.

4:00 PM
Peyto Lake

Get ready for a true Canadian Rockies bucket-list view. From high above the valley, look down upon the brilliant turquoise waters of Peyto Lake, surrounded by seemingly endless mountains and wilderness. The glacier-fed colour almost doesn't look real. It's one of the most famous viewpoints in the Canadian Rockies—and when you see it for yourself, you'll understand why.
