  Lake Louise: This beautiful lake is named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta. Famous photo-taking location
  
  Spiral Tunnel: It is one of the most bizarre feats of engineering to get the grade of a train line to be at or below 2.2%. The current two spiral tunnels where the railroad forms two spirals, crossing beneath itself twice, almost forming a figure eight, before continuing in the proper direction down the mountain were completedi n 1909. (Pass through)
  
  Emerald Lake: Name comes from her green water color
  
  Natural Bridge: Sculpted by the erosive forces of rushing water over what had once been a waterfall, the Natural Bridge is a powerful reminder of how much influence water has in shaping the landscape.
  
  Moraine Lake/Ten Peaks Valley: Its waters are the most amazing color, a vivid shade of turquoise that changesin intensity through the summer as the glaciers melt. Set in the rugged Valley of the Ten Peaks, Moraine Lake is surrounded by mountains, waterfalls, and rock piles, creating a scene so stunning it almost seems unreal.
