Banff Lakes, Yoho and Kootenay
Stay in Banff town for five days to explore the lakes in depth, with a day trip to Emerald Lake in Yoho and Radium Hot Springs in Kootenay.
A relaxed pace: day one covers the town and the Cave and Basin National Historic Site; day two focuses on Lake Louise and Moraine Lake; day three heads west to Yoho for Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls; day four goes south through Kootenay National Park to Radium Hot Springs; and the last day includes the gondola and a museum before you leave. You keep the same base the whole trip, making it ideal for visiting several national parks without rushing.
The Takakkaw Falls road is open roughly late June to early October. Moraine Lake is accessible by shuttle only.
