About the Tour
Your tour begins in the town of Lake Louise. From here, you’ll head toward the Yoho National Park entrance and hear about one of the most colorful figures from its history: Tom Wilson.
Next, why not snap a selfie beside the Now Entering British Columbia Sign, which just so happens to sit directly on the Great Continental Divide! As you cruise through the picturesque Kicking Horse Pass, you’ll find out how it got its unusual name.
After that, you’ll admire the serene Wapta Lake and have the option of trekking to the secluded and picturesque Sherbrooke Lake. Take in views of Cathedral and Mount Stephen as you drive, which stand as sentinels, guarding tales of time past. Stop for photos at the Spiral Tunnel Viewpoint, which offers a testament to human engineering amidst nature’s grandeur. Then you’ll cruise toward a towering waterfall known as Takakkaw Falls, hearing about elusive mountain peaks, sprawling icefields, and terrifying avalanches along the way.
Returning from Takakkaw Falls, you’ll delve into the discoveries of Charles Doolittle Walcott and the world-renowned Burgess Shale, which changed scientists’ understanding of the world forever. After hearing more about how this happened, you’ll pay a visit to the Natural Bridge – nature’s own architectural masterpiece.
At last, you’ll arrive at Emerald Lake, the perfect spot to rest after an exciting journey. Your tour concludes here.
