Enjoy a scenic drive around Tunnel Mountain, a ~9 km loop that takes about 20 minutes without stops, but you'll definitely want to pull over along the way! The route features several beautiful viewpoints and trailheads, including access to the popular Tunnel Mountain Trail, a moderate hike with sweeping views over Banff. Don’t miss Surprise Corner, one of Banff’s most iconic photo ops, offering a postcard-perfect view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel framed by the surrounding peaks and the Bow Falls. Continue on to the Hoodoos Viewpoint, where you can admire the otherworldly limestone spires rising above the Bow River Valley. This short loop is packed with stunning scenery, perfect for a relaxed drive, a few quick walks, or some unforgettable photos.
