Big Bend Lookout - Great views of Cirrus Mountain and a classic U-shaped valley carved out by glaciers. Columbia Icefield Glacier Walk - The largest ice cap south of the Arctic Circle. Covers an area the size of Vancouver (325km sq.) and as thick as 350 m. Enough room to fit every person in North America on its surface at one time! You'll get a chance to walk on it and start a snowball fight, even in the peak of summer! Tangle Falls - Climb up alongside these cascading waterfalls for a great group photo! Mt. Edith Cavell - Natives called it "White Ghost" in reference to the snow-covered mountain's appearance in the moonlight. Stay in a wilderness hostel in the shadow of the mountain.

Moraine Lake (seasonal) - Scramble up the moraine pile for a stunning view of the lake in the "Valley of the Ten Peaks" (yet oddly there are more than ten peaks). Banff - The hub of adventure activities in the Rocky Mountains! Jump off the bus and try whitewater rafting on the Kicking Horse River, caving in the Rat's Nest Caves, soaking in the Hot Springs, strolling through the village, or take in one of the area's many spectacular hikes.
