3-Day Winter Rockies Tour Vancouver in / Calgary out： Banff, Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon【Product Code: 9335】

The Last Spike was the final and ceremonial railway spike driven into the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) track by company director Donald Smith on the morning of 7 November 1885. The ceremony marked the completion of the transcontinental CPR and was a muted affair at which a group of company officials and labourers gathered at Craigellachie near Eagle Pass in the interior of British Columbia. One of about 30 million iron spikes used in the construction of the line, the Last Spike came to symbolize more than the completion of a railway. Contemporaries and historians have viewed the Last Spike — as well as the iconic photographs of the event — as a moment when national unity was realized.

The roaring and rushing landscape of the summer, at this moment, feels as if it has been enchanted by time, and the space-time has frozen in this instant. But you can still hear the sound of the river rushing beneath the solidified ice, as if it wants to break free from the confinement of the time magic

On a clear day, taking a gondola is a great activity for families, groups, and couples. Once up top, savour the sweeping vistas, explore the many hiking opportunities, or relax with a meal on the roof of the Rockies. 

Banff Upper Hot Springs is a magical and warm experience. Imagine yourself immersed into the warmth of the water as you admire the snowy winter wonderland that surrounds you. The snowy mountains glisten under the sunlight, and the flurries sparkle in the air. Your cheeks are rosy from the cold but your body is warm and relaxed. It truly feels like a magical experience.

Photo Stop at Two Jack Lake.

Located 15 minutes east of Banff is Lake Minnewanka, the largest and deepest glacial lake in Banff National Park, reaching a depth of 142 meters. Its name comes from the Indian Stoneni family, which means "water spirit.” This stunning aqua blue lake is surrounded by beautiful mountain peaks and unique rocks by the shoreline.

Exploring the thundering falls and icy cliffs of Johnston Canyon make the classic winter hike a must-do experience for every visit to Banff National Park. 

During the winter, Lake Louise transforms into a magical playground. Brilliant blue skies contrast with the sparkling white peaks, the air is the crispest you’ve ever breathed, and there is a wealth of winter activities to enjoy.
