You step from the air-conditioned vehicle into a bowl of mountains: glaciers hang like white letters on gray peaks, and the water below replies in surreal turquoise. The road hums away; here the light sharpens edges and the smell of cold water dares you closer. This private day tour moves at a steady pace—Johnston Canyon's cut limestone, the royal blue of Lake Louise, and the green-glow of Yoho's Emerald Lake—each scene offering a different drama of ice, stone and moving water.
