Hidden Valley is a hike that will take you on a journey through rocky cliffs and over ladders with chain traverses. This easy scramble is an exciting way to spend a half-day and is a lesser-known hike in the Jasper area. Hidden Valley is considered a climber’s paradise but sees very few hikers, so enjoy the solitude on this exciting route.

Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park is one of the Canadian Rockies’ finest lakes and a resplendent place to visit in British Columbia. It’s the largest lake in Yoho National Park, one of the most stunning BC Lakes, and surrounded by President Mountain Range.

Visiting the lake on a summer day is one of the finest natural scenes in all Canadian Rockies, a mountain range far from being short of incredible vistas. Access to the lake is surprisingly easy as it’s just a few kilometers off of the TransCanada highway that sees thousands drive past Emerald Lake every day.

Friendly and intimate, with lots of dark wood and big views, Walliser Stube feels much like an upscale dining room nestled in the alps. Critics call the deliciously gooey traditional cheese fondue the best outside Switzerland.

A quick walk in Marble Canyon will let you see the amazing blue waters, the spectacular gorge as well as a pretty waterfall. There are seven bridges that cross the canyon allowing you to peek down at the limestone.

The Stanley Glacier hike is the most popular walk in Kootenay National Park for good reason. This short and relatively easy hike (by Rockies standards) gets you up close to a glacier and huge waterfall with heaps of amazing views along the way. It’s close enough to Banff to easily fit into a morning or afternoon but just far enough away that you lose the crowds.

As well as the stunning alpine views, you’ll see something quite different - a large area of forest growing back after the 2003 wildfire. Burnt remnants sit alongside new growth.

The world is different from Sulphur’s summit, and it’s not just the view. Your journey embarks from a simple gondola cabin that won’t contain your awe and wonder as you soar above the forest. Spectacular vistas come into clear view, stirring the spirit.

Follow in the footsteps of a local resident, who walked to the top of Sulphur Mountain weekly for 30 years to check the weather until 1945, when he was 84 years old. At the peak, step back in time and experience the Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station — a National Historic Site of Canada.
