Great for winter sightseeing - Frozen waterfalls are gorgeous. Wish we had more time at Johnston Canyon to go to the top of the falls. This tour packs a lot into one trip so we did hit a lot of spots. Lake Louise was frozen over and definitely a sight worth seeing. Rhonda was pretty knowledgeable as well.

Stunning Lake Louise - The hike up to Lake Louise lookout through the snow was then when you get to the platform you actually get to experience the change of colour of the water compared to being down at the waters edge. Well worth the extra effort involved. Much easier to do if you have the crampons on in the snow.
