I had a last-minute booking and it was totally worth it! Our pick-up was right on time in Calgary, and our tour guide, Emma, was incredible. We learned so much about the route and the park. Our first stop was Lake Louise, and it was breathtaking! The lake was completely frozen, and the mountains in the background were stunning. The Fairmont hotel was a nice contrast to the natural surroundings, but it still felt like it belonged there. You could even walk on the frozen lake and rent ice skates from the hotel. Next, we went to Marble Canyon, and it was like walking through time! We saw different points where the fall had happened thousands of years ago. It was a great walk with amazing views. After that, we stopped in Banff to explore the town. There were a lot of food and shopping options to discover. I tried out The Eddie Burger + Bar, which Emma recommended, and I had a bison burger and some of the best onion rings I’ve ever had. Next, we stopped at Surprise Corner, which will remain a surprise here, and lastly, we visited Bow Falls for one last scenic view before Emma took us back to our drop-off points. It was a day filled with wonderful views, a scenic road trip, great food, and great conversation.
