Dupont Tours

Check the website for the full gamut. Not all tours are offered year-round and reservations are a must. There's a free pick-up service and shuttle bus. Family packages are also available.

Hiking Trails
Some excellent hiking trails meander off the Bow Valley Parkway (Hwy 1A), northwest of Banff. The Parkway branches off from, but finally rejoins, the Trans-Canada Hwy en route to Lake Louise. Waterfalls are the lure of a trail that follows the sparkling waters of Johnston Creek, which has creatively carved its way through the soft limestone of Johnston Canyon. The trail is paved as far as the Lower Falls (2.2km).
The next 3.2km stretch to the Upper Falls is more challenging but worth it for the views.
A further - and mostly untraveled - 6.2km brings you to the Ink Pots, five small springs of blue and green water surrounded by snowy peaks.
