What To Expect
Herbert Lake
Discover the serene beauty of Herbert Lake, a hidden gem along the Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park. Surrounded by towering peaks and dense forest, this tranquil alpine lake offers breathtaking views and perfect mirror-like reflections of the Canadian Rockies—ideal for photography and peaceful nature moments. Enjoy a short stop (approx. 15–20 minutes) where you can take a leisurely walk along the shoreline, soak in the quiet atmosphere, and learn interesting facts about the area's natural and geological significance from your guide. Less crowded than Banff’s major lakes, Herbert Lake provides a more intimate and authentic connection to the park's stunning landscape. It's especially captivating in the morning when the water is calm and the reflections are at their best. A peaceful, picture-perfect highlight of your journey through the Rockies.
Crowfoot Glacier
Marvel at the majestic Crowfoot Glacier, perched high above Bow Lake along the scenic Icefields Parkway in Banff National Park. Once shaped like a three-toed crow’s foot, this glacier is a striking example of nature’s power and the effects of climate change. During this short scenic stop, your guide will share fascinating insights into the glacier’s formation, its ongoing retreat, and its significance to the region’s ecosystem. From the roadside viewpoint, you’ll enjoy panoramic views of the glacier, surrounding cliffs, and turquoise Bow Lake below—an ideal photo opportunity. This stop offers a unique chance to witness an iconic glacier in a spectacular mountain setting without the need for a strenuous hike. A quick yet memorable highlight of your Rockies adventure.

5.00Our family of 5 joined this tour, and it gave us a really nice experience and a memory to treasure forever. Although there were closed locations due to the season, our guide, Inder, made sure that the itinerary was planned and discussed. He was outstanding throughout the tour. He assisted our uncle who is a senior and our kid during the trail walks (so that’s really nice of him). Thanks to his warm personality, this tour became a truly unforgettable experience to our family.

5.00Many thanks, Inder. Despite the cloudy and snowy weather, we fully enjoyed the beautiful lakes and waterfalls with Inder. Although some spots were closed due to snow, Inder took us to alternative locations with fabulous landscapes. We highly recommend taking a tour with Inder.
