Walking is light to moderate: short, mostly well-built trails at Lake Louise and Banff, and a 1–2 mile round-trip along catwalks at Johnston Canyon with some stairs.
Park entry fees or passes are not always included—confirm with your operator; many tours include GST but expect to show a Parks Canada pass if required.
