Things to Do in Banff National Park

  • Aerial panorama of Lake Mead with surrounding desert landscape and clear blue skies

    Moraine Lake

    Moraine Lake’s turquoise water peaks in late June — that color is real, it’s glacial rock flour, and it’s worth rearranging your whole Banff itinerary.

  • Clear Lake, Mountain view, and Skyline

    Lake Louise

    That turquoise color isn’t a filter — it’s rock flour from the Victoria Glacier. Get there before 8am or accept the crowds.
