Lunch

Emerald Lake

At Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, Canada, before it freezes, you can marvel at the lake's striking emerald-green waters, which glisten under the sunlight, surrounded by towering mountains and lush forests. The vibrant colors create a serene and picturesque setting, perfect for boat rides and peaceful walks along the lakeshore. As winter approaches and the lake freezes over, Emerald Lake transforms into a pristine, snow-covered wonderland. The frozen surface, surrounded by snow-laden trees and mountains, adds a fairytale-like charm, making it a captivating destination in any season.

Natural Bridge

The natural stone bridge is located on the south bank of Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park in Canada. It is a section of the riverbed of the Kicking Horse River. The flow of melted glaciers in Hawaii and the monitoring of sand hammers cut through the broken rock bed to form a natural "bridge".

Bow Valley Parkway (Pass by)

We’ll take a scenic drive along Bow Valley Parkway, a prime area for spotting wildlife like elk, deer, and possibly a bear. This peaceful drive connects you with Banff’s diverse wildlife.

Johnston Canyon

Johnston Canyon is one of Banff National Park’s most popular and accessible hiking destinations, known for its dramatic waterfalls, turquoise pools, and stunning canyon views. A well-maintained trail and series of catwalks lead visitors through narrow limestone cliffs, past thundering falls and serene forested areas. Whether you're visiting in summer when the falls roar with glacial meltwater, or in winter when frozen waterfalls turn the canyon into an icy wonderland, Johnston Canyon is a breathtaking experience year-round.
