Day 1. In and around Banff.

Begin your vacation by visiting the Discover Banff Tours Information Centre at 215 Banff Ave to pick up maps, brochures and check out what's on this week. Then follow the GyPSy Guide's tour around the townsite, stopping at Bow Falls, Surprise Corner, the Hoodoos and Lake Minnewanka. If time allows, stop by the Vermillion Lakes. Don't forget to take your camera - the changing colours on Mt Rundle make for a great sunset photo. Back in Banff arrange tomorrow's picnic lunch and perhaps end the day with a soak in the natural hot springs. Overnight Banff.

Day 2. Icefields Parkway - Road to the Glaciers.

Over 100 Glaciers line the spectacular Icefield Parkway, making it one of the most stunning drives in the world. A busy day awaits you, so it's an early start. Drive north on the Icefields Parkway #93,
stopping at the many viewpoints, all are spectacular.  The GyPSy OnBoard Car Guide will entertain and inform you all along the way of the places not to miss like Bow Summit, Peyto Lake. Just before the Athabasca Glacier stop at Parker Ridge, where you may want to enjoy the picnic lunch we suggested, and after a short but steep trail (250m elevation gain), you will be rewarded with great views of the Saskatchewan Glacier. Finally drive onto the Icefield Centre and enjoy the highlight of the drive, the Athabasca Glacier. At your leisure drive back to Banff, we suggest enjoying a drink at historic Num-Ti-Jah Lodge, just north of Lake Louise. Overnight Banff.

Day 3. Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. 

Drive out to Moraine Lake and enjoy the early morning calm on the lake - the best time for scenic reflections. Onto Lake Louise and walk the lakeshore trail to the end of the lake towards Victoria Glacier. We suggest trying the famous Traditional Afternoon English Tea at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise while enjoying the awe inspiring mountain views. Overnight Lake Louise.

Day 4. Lake Louise and Johnston Canyon.

On your final day drive slowly along the Bow Valley Parkway 1A) from Lake Louise to Banff. This is a wilderness corridor so keep the speed down and allow plenty of space if you do see wildlife. The short trail hike to Johnston Canyon (between Lake Louise and Banff on the Bow Valley Parkway 1A), is a great way to cool off if a hot day or stretch the legs if you have a long day of traveling ahead.
