Step beyond the conference and into the heart of the Canadian Rockies. Join us for a full day of scenic exploration, iconic landmarks, and mountain-town charm on our Unofficial Canadian Rockies Day.
We’ll be visiting:
Emerald Lake – Famous for its unreal turquoise waters and postcard-perfect mountain backdrop, Emerald Lake is one of the most photographed locations in Yoho National Park. Perfect for lakeside photos and a relaxing stroll.
Natural Bridge – Watch the powerful Kicking Horse River carve through solid rock, forming a natural stone bridge with rushing rapids below.
Takakkaw Falls – One of Canada’s most impressive waterfalls and among the tallest in the country, plunging dramatically down a sheer rock face.
Hoodoos Viewpoint – Take in panoramic views of Banff and the Bow Valley while overlooking the famous hoodoos, tall rock spires shaped over thousands of years.
Explore Banff – Wrap up the day with time to explore Banff. Browse local shops and enjoy dinner in town to end the adventure.
Transportation between all locations is provided via shuttle, making it a relaxed and convenient way to experience multiple destinations in one unforgettable day. The schedule will remain flexible to allow for weather and group flow, but expect a full day of sightseeing, scenic drives, photo stops, and time to explore.
