BANFF NATIONAL PARK - Canadian Rockies: Including Banff and Jasper National Parks - page 30

M The Fairmont Banff Springs: You don't need to book a room here to enjoy the
many wonders of one of the world's great mountain resorts-join a guided tour, en-
joy a meal, or simply wander through the grandiose public areas ( click here .).
M Bow Valley Parkway: This scenic drive between Banff and Lake Louise
provides views of abundant wildlife and many worthwhile stops ( click here ).
M Bourgeau Lake: A steep trail leads to this lake's rocky shores, populated by
colonies of pikas ( click here ).
M Lake Louise: Famous Lake Louise has hypnotized visitors with her beauty for
over 100 years. Visitors can rent canoes from the boathouse ( click here ) .
M Moraine Lake: If anywhere in the Canadian Rockies qualifies as a Double Must-
See, it would be this deep-blue body of water surrounded by glaciated peaks ( click
here ) .
M Lake Agnes Trail: You won't completely escape the crowds by hiking this trail
from Lake Louise, but you will leave most of them behind ( click here ).
M Larch Valley Trail: This walk is a good introduction to hiking in the Canadian
Rockies, especially in fall when the larch trees have turned a brilliant gold ( click
here ) .
M Peyto Lake: Another one of Banff's famous lakes. The main difference is the
perspective from which it is viewed-a lookout high above its shoreline ( click here ).
M Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park: Accessible only on foot or by helicopter,
this roadless park is filled with glacier-capped peaks and turquoise lakes ( click
here ) .
The park is open year-round, although occasional road closures occur on mountain
passes along the park's western boundary in winter, due to avalanche-control work and
snowstorms.
