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.

We had a wonderful experience with Harsh, who served as both our driver and coach. He is highly knowledgeable and provided detailed explanations about the itinerary as well as the historical significance of each stop we visited. He was also very helpful in assisting with photographs at every location. Our only suggestion would be for him to consider using a headset and microphone, as it was occasionally difficult to hear him clearly from the rear seats.
