Dive into the splendour of autumn in the Canadian Rockies during this guided sightseeing tour of the best of both Banff and Yoho National Parks from Banff!
For those lucky enough to experience it, autumn in the Canadian Rockies is an enchantment that will stay with you for the rest of your life! This sightseeing tour highlights the beauty of the season by taking you to the most incredible spots around Banff!
The tour starts by picking you up at your hotel in Banff and heading to Johnston Canyon where you will be led on a guided hike through wild and wooded trails, draped with autumn colours, to the lovely Lower Falls which will be just beginning to freeze over. From there you then have the option of continuing onwards to Upper Falls or basking in the delightful atmosphere by a fire until it is time to move on. Then, it will be time to visit the beautiful turquoise waters of Lake Louise, surrounded by snow capped mountains and misty forests, where you will have the chance to stroll around the lake and spend peaceful moments looking out over the glassy waters.
After a quick picnic lunch at Lake Louise Village, the tour will head towards the lesser known but equally delightful Yoho National Park to visit Emerald Lake for the final stop of the tour. There, you will be greeted by a vast expanse of smooth emerald water and a serene atmosphere far from the crowds. The autumn gold larch trees reflected brightly upon Emerald Lake are a particularly stunning treat! Without a doubt, this tour will leave you with autumnal coloured memories and photos that you will cherish forever!
Autumn may be a short season in Banff, but it creates a landscape so otherworldly and picturesque that it is absolutely worth catching! Book your guided sightseeing tour of the best of both Banff and Yoho National Parks now to experience autumn like never before!
