• Johnston Canyon - Johnston Creek begins north of Castle Mountain in a glacial valley southwest of Badger Pass. The creek travels through a gorge known as Johnston Canyon. As it nears the Bow River, the creek flows through a large canyon carved by erosion over millennia. The creek has cut through limestone rock, creating sheer canyon walls, waterfalls, tunnels, and pools.
• Castle Mountain - Castle Mountain is situated within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, roughly midway between Banff and Lake Louise. Named in 1858 by James Hector for its castle-like appearance.
• Lake Louise - Lake Louise is a glacial lake located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. It is named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, the fourth daughter of Queen Victoria and wife of the Marquess of Lorne, who served as Governor General of Canada from 1878 to 1883. The lake’s turquoise color is due to rock flour carried into it by meltwater from the glaciers overlooking the lake. Covering an area of 0.8 km², the lake drains through the 3 km long Louise Creek into the Bow River.
• Moraine Lake - Moraine Lake is a breathtaking glacially-fed lake in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, within Banff National Park, renowned for its striking turquoise-blue waters.
• Lake Louise Visitor Information Centre - The village of Lake Louise is the highest mini town with an elevation of 1,661 m. Visitors can enjoy lunch, browse the shops, and explore the visitor center around the mini square. Recharge for the next two lakes on the tour.
• Crowfoot Glacier - Early explorers named the glacier Crowfoot because its three sections of ice resembled a crow’s foot on the mountain. Although one of the three “toes” has receded and disappeared, the glacier remains spectacular.

The Crowfoot Glacier is located above Bow Lake, offering stunning photo opportunities for those traveling the Icefields Parkway.

The magnificent Crowfoot Glacier can be seen from a lookout point on the renowned Icefields Parkway, about 34 km (21 mi) north of Lake Louise. Attached to the northeastern side of Crowfoot Mountain, overlooking Bow Lake, the glacier’s runoff feeds into the Bow River, which flows from Banff National Park through Calgary to the Alberta prairies.

• Peyto Lake - Peyto Lake is a glacier-fed lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, near the Icefields Parkway. Named after Bill Peyto, an early trail guide and trapper in the Banff area, the lake is situated in a valley of the Waputik Range, between Caldron Peak, Peyto Peak, and Mount Jimmy Simpson, at an elevation of 1,860 m (6,100 ft). During summer, large amounts of glacial rock flour flow into the lake from a nearby glacier, giving it a unique bright, turquoise color. Due to its vibrant color, photos of the lake often appear in illustrated books, and the area is a popular sightseeing spot. The lake is best viewed from Bow Summit, the highest point on the Icefields Parkway. Fed by Peyto Creek, which drains water from Caldron Lake and Peyto Glacier (part of the Wapta Icefield), Peyto Lake is the source of the Mistaya River, which flows northwest from the lake’s outflow.
• Herbert Lake - Herbert Lake offers stunning views of the lake and snow-capped mountains. There is an excellent and less-traveled trail with great mountain views. This trail begins in the parking area of Herbert Lake. The exact trailhead can be challenging to locate, so it is advisable to download offline maps to ensure you stay on the route.
  The trail is well-defined and easy to follow once past the trailhead.

There are a few ups and downs, but nothing too difficult. The trail provides multiple viewpoints of the lake and runs alongside the lake for most of the trail.

• Bow Lake - Bow Lake is one of the many lakes along the Icefields Parkway and a popular stop for visitors to Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada. The Canadian Rockies are renowned for their spectacular vistas and lakes. Bow Lake is highly recommended as a stop to stretch your legs on the Icefields Parkway.

A short walk along the lakeshore trail offers a family-friendly hike, or you can enjoy longer hikes around Bow Lake for a more complete day. Whatever you choose, make sure not to miss Bow Lake.
