Overview

  • Follow the Trans-Canada Highway between Lake Louise and Calgary through Banff, Canmore and the Bow Valley. Allow about 2 hours for the roughly 190 km drive, plus any optional stops. This self-guided smartphone tour has 25 mapped itinerary entries and 45+ GPS-triggered Tripvia stories about peaks, wildlife, mountain towns and local history, including Mount Rundle, Castle Mountain and the Bow River.

    Start at either end and drive at your own pace in your own vehicle. Download before departure for offline audio and a live GPS route map; pause and resume whenever you like. There is no in-person guide. Banff park admission and optional attraction entry are separate. Moraine Lake is a referenced attraction, not a drive-by stop: its road is closed to personal vehicles and shuttle access must be arranged separately.
