The Vermilion Lakes are a series of three lakes located just outside of the town of Banff, offering plenty of beautiful photo opportunities and best views of Mt. Rundle.

Lakes are easily accessible by car, making it a perfect spot for sunrise or sunset (the reflections are usually gorgeous in those times of a day). It's also a great spot for a paddle and it connects into Echo Creek which starts at the Banff Canoe Club, so this is a really nice paddling route.
