On this sightseeing tour you will visit the "Jewel of the Canadian Rockies", Lake Louise, & the world renowned Moraine Lake, both of which are part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will have time to take photos and explore their shorelines. Along the way, you will learn about Canada's mountaineering history and how a tragic accident at Lake Louise shaped Canadian mountain culture. Finally, walk to a viewpoint in the Valley of Ten Peaks overlooking Moraine Lake.
Early and late season road closures will limit access to Moraine Lake (until late May, and in October). Inquire at time of booking to learn the alternate stops and locations we are using.
