Canmore
The scenic drive from Calgary to Canmore is a stunning journey that offers breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies and the natural beauty of Alberta. Just a stone's throw from the highway, Kananaskis opens up a world of outdoor adventure. As we pass by this area, be on the lookout for wildlife! Spotting deer, elk, and occasionally bears along the way is a common delight. The open meadows and dense forests serve as perfect habitats for these magnificent creatures. We'll stop in Canmore, nestled in the Bow Valley, surrounded with spectacular views, on our way from or to Calgary for about 10-15 minutes for a quick stretch.
Two Jack Lake
Two Jack Lake Nestled within the grandeur of Banff National Park, Two Jack Lake stands as a serene oasis, a place where nature’s artistry is on full display. The imposing silhouettes of Mount Rundle and Cascade Mountain frame the lake, their grand shapes mirrored flawlessly on the water’s surface. This natural reflection creates a mesmerizing dual image that captivates and leaves a lasting impression on every visitor. Depending on the season we'll stop here for about 10 to 20 minutes
