A journey across the Trans-Canada Highway will take you through Banff National Park and right by the Vermilion Lakes. The trio of interconnected lakes sparkles against the backdrop of the Canadian Rockies and the striking Mount Rundle. These lakes, formed in the Bow River valley, are simply named First, Second and Third. History buffs might appreciate the fact that archaeological evidence found nearby, like obsidian tools and campsites, indicate that people have lived in the area for approximately 11,000 years. While here, you can jump into activities like paddleboarding, kayaking, photography, hiking, canoeing and enjoying the natural hot springs near Third Lake.
