What to expect
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Canmore, Canmore, Kananaskis Country, Alberta
My favourite mountain town and area before Banff during winter months (not summer). Great place to meet the locals, grab some java and do a few stops in the area.
On the way from Calgary to this point we will learn about the Canadian Rockies and why they are such a world renown stop for domestic and international travelers.
Before we get to Canmore there will be a few stops to get you accustom to our local weather conditions but also to see how much the entire region has to offer before you get to Banff National Park.
Great points of interest along the way and a few "favourite secrete spots" to share with our small group!
Stop At: Lake Minnewanka Scenic Drive, Banff, Banff National Park, Alberta T1L 1K2 Canada
This is one of my favourite stops, the lake offers so much to do and see. You'll fall in love with it!
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Banff, Banff, Banff National Park, Alberta
The town of Banff is where we might have a quick dinner and you get to spend some time and money shopping for those unique souvenirs you just can't help taking home to remember your trip years down the road.
We'll also check out the Banff Springs Hotel which is over 130 years old and a big part of the local history. Great photo opportunities here!
Duration: 1 hour 45 minutes
Pass By: Castle Mountain, AB T0L, Canada
We will stop at a couple amazing lookouts where history meets nature in a spectacular mountain display.
We might find some wildlife and you might have to learn the moose call!
Stop At: Lake Louise, Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta
Depending on group dynamic, we might do a short hike here. Spend time at the ice rink during winter, checkout the Chateau Lake Louise hotel and take unbelievable photos to make your friends jealous and to make sure you take an unforgettable memory home with you!
Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes
Stop At: Moraine Lake Rd off Great Divide Hwy, Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta Canada
During the summer months we'll stop at Moraine Lake instead of Kananaskis and Castle Mountain
Duration: 1 hour

Kevin is the best host, guide and explorer who shares his secret places, his passion for the mountains and his friendliness with people. He limits his tours to five people or fewer so that he can get to know the group and the group can get to know each other. My wife and I toured end-April and had a full day seeing sights, doing some hikes, looking for eagles, elk, bear and other wildlife. It was like being on a fun outing with friends. Kevin has a great base plan and then tailors the stops and duration by the group’s interests. Fabulous guide and fascinating stories along the route. Six stars out of five if that were allowed!We had a fantastic day all around Banff and Canmore and saw many beautiful lakes and the views were just wonderful, not rushed at all, and plenty of time for a nice lunch also the vehicle for 5 people was very comfortable. Thank you Kevin.
