"The three lakes on the west side of the Banff townsite are easily accessible by foot, bike, or canoe - if the season is right. The three lakes are a popular destination for watching the sunrise over Mount Rundle or sunset after biking the Bow Valley Parkway. To find the lakes, head down Mt. Norquay Road - past the Banff Sign - and turn up Vermilion Lakes Road."

"This was another one of our stops along our journey to catch a glimpse of the northern lights due to its proximity to town. Again-we had no luck. However, I knew going into the trip that it wasn't likely that we would see them, so I didn't let it take away from enjoying driving through the park at night!"
