Depart Banff in the morning via the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1) towards Lake Louise but leave the highway to merge onto the Bow Valley Parkway just west of Banff. The 48 km Bow Valley Parkway runs parallel to Highway 1 but provides visitors a more scenic and leisurely route between Banff and Lake Louise. Along the way, you can stop for a hike at the Johnston Canyon and take a photo at the Castle Mountain viewpoint. Visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake.

Shortly after departing Lake Louise in a westbound direction, you will arrive in Yoho National Park, where you will visit Emerald Lake and Natural Bridge. On your way to Revelstoke, you do not want to miss the stop at Information Centre at Rogers Pass. Upon arrival in Revelstoke, you can visit the Revelstoke Dam, one of the largest hydroelectric dams in Canada.  

Driving Distance: 250 KMS

Travel south from Revelstoke and board a small ferry for the 20 minute crossing of Upper Arrow Lake. Nestled deep within the natural beauty of the Kuskanax Valley you will find the Nakusp Hot Springs. There are two pools fed by water from natural mineral springs originating from the forest a short distance away. 

After a relaxing soak in the hot spring pools, you will drive along the shoreline of Slocan Lake to arrive in Nelson in the afternoon.
