Scenic drive known for wildlife sightings
Emerald Lake Trail

This is a beautiful lake- one of our favorites!
You will need to park and take a shuttle/ or hike.
There is a lodge with a restaurant if you want a bite to eat as well
Johnston Canyon
Bow Valley Parkway, AB T1L 1K2, Canada
Pretty mellow hike/ more of a nice walk. Recommend going early in the morning due to crowds.
Valley of Five Lakes
AB T0E 0A8, Canada
Another mellow hike, but very beautiful. Recommend going early in the morning to avoid crowds.
Athabasca Falls
Alberta 93A, Jasper, AB T0E 0A8, Canada
This can be a lookout or a hike- beautiful to stop and take a picture.
Columbia Icefield Skywalk
Icefields Parkway, AB T1L1J3, Canada
Never got to do it because it was closed, looks pretty cool.
Its right off the road, so it could be a quick stop.
Peyto Lake Viewpoint
Lake Louise, AB T0L 1E0, Canada
This can be a view point or a hike- we would recommend just doing the view point.
Super stunning!
Moraine Lake
AB T0L 1E0, Canada
We haven’t done this one yet- but its on the list.
There is also a lodge here and shuttles from the parking area. Plan ahead!
Lake Louise
Lake Louise, AB T0L 1E0, Canada
This is beautiful but very crowded. Highly recommend planning ahead and booking with a company, as the parking is a nightmare.
There are also hikes around the area that look down at this lake- so check that out as an option as well!
The Big Beehive
AB T0L 1E0, Canada
Great option of a hike that overlooks Lake Louise- have not done it yet. Also on the to-do list.
