Banff Upper Hot Spring

The Banff Hot Springs is a top-favorite today amongst visitors and locals! It is a perfect location to enjoy a time of relaxation and peace! This historic spa and bath house lies up against a backdrop of the spectacular alpine scenery. It’s simply magical to sit in the comfort of soothing hot water during the wintertime while watching snow fall on the surrounding peaks. 

Today, we're setting off for Bow Lake. In winter, the huge riverbed is just like a vast white desert. Next, we'll go to Peyto Lake. The beautiful glacial lake looks even more magnificent with those towering snow-capped mountains around it. Then, we'll drive along to Louise Lake via the Goatfinger Glacier. It's called that because it looks like a goat's claw. In the afternoon, we'll drive along the Bow Valley Parkway all the way to Johnston Canyon. On the way, it feels like we're in a Nordic forest, with all that snow weighing down the branches. It's so beautiful! Come with us for a hike in the ice canyon (free to borrow studded ice grippers) and enjoy the perfect lines drawn by the high waterfalls.
