Marble Canyon has seven bridges to hike, walking in a zigzag pattern over the deep limestone canyon and the meandering creek below. The canyon is where Torkham Creek joins the Vermilion River, where fossilized Cambrian soft-bodied organisms from millions of years ago have been found, and is quite magnificent. A narrow path over the creek leads to a bridge overlooking the canyon below, with frozen waterfalls cascading down from above on the right, a breathtaking landscape and cool pools of impressive water.

Magical Winter Wonderland

5.00We had a great guide Layse that was informative & patient throughout our trip. Emerald Lake and Lake Louise was snow covered and it was snowing when we arrived, which made for a very picturesque photo stop. The stops are pretty quick, which means we didn’t have time to complete the hike to the top of marble canyon, but the winter roads were a factor too. We would do this again, but in the summer to see the coloured lakes
A good time

5.00Geoff was a great tour guide and we had a great time. A small group of 5 was good too. I imagine the bus would have been a bit crowded with a significantly larger group.

5.00Our winter day trip through the Canadian Rockies was absolutely incredible. We visited Lake Louise, Marble Canyon, Emerald Lake, and several beautiful stops throughout Banff, and every moment felt like stepping into a postcard. The landscapes were unreal — frozen lakes, turquoise water peeking through the ice, snowy forests, and dramatic canyon views. Our guide, Geoff, made the entire experience even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, organized, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. He shared fun stories and interesting facts about each location, kept the energy light, and helped us find the best photo spots without feeling rushed. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does. The tour was perfectly paced, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each stop, take pictures, and really soak in the beauty of the national parks. It was a relaxing, memorable, and effortlessly enjoyable way to explore some of the most iconic winter destinations in the Rockies. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Geoff. It was a highlight of our Banff trip and a day we’ll never forget.
Wonderful Day!
