The Bow Valley Parkway connects the towns of Banff to Lake Louise, with picnic spots, numerous hikes and ski runs across fields and stunning scenery along the way. This parkway can be reached by bike or car. Many award-winning interpretive exhibits and unique attractions such as Johnston Canyon, the 1800s ghost town SilverCity and HillsdaleSlide can be found on this avenue. On this scenic drive, there are countless opportunities to spot wildlife - glimpse bighorn sheep on the edge of the walled cliffs, and catch elk and wolves in the marshes. Johnston Canyon is flanked by several spectacular waterfalls, making it one of the most popular hiking spots in Banff National Park. In addition to being overwhelmed by the countless cascading waterfalls, you'll be blown away by the walled rocks and creepy cliffs.
