2. LAKE LOUISE, A WILDERNESS GEM See some of the most beautiful lakes in North America today as you journey into the wilderness of the Canadian Rockies. Travel across the Continental Divide through Kicking Horse Pass to exquisite Emerald Lake, set among soaring mountain peaks in Yoho National Park. See the famous Spiral Tunnels of the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Natural Bridge, carved through solid rock. Your final destination is Lake Louise, located at the foot of Victoria Glacier – in spring there often is late snow framing the lake with lofty snowbound peaks.

3. MORAINE LAKE, BEAUTY REFLECTED Conditions permitting, join our naturalist guide for an excursion to Moraine Lake, one of the most photographed spots in all of Canada, located in the Valley of the Ten Peaks. This glacially fed lake reflects the awe-inspiring beauty that prompted explorer Walter Wilcox, who named it Moraine Lake after the moraine, or rock pile, deposited by the Wenkchemna Glacier, to write “no scene had ever given me an equal impression of inspiring solitude and rugged grandeur,” adding that his time spent contemplating the view was the happiest half-hour of his life. Return to your resort for an afternoon at leisure. Meals BD
