Easy, short and busy paved hike in the alpine to the base of Angel Glacier. For the more adventurous, take a longer hike up into Cavell Meadows with beautiful wildflowers in July-August. Arrive early or hike in the early evening to avoid the crowds. Bring bug spray, water, food and bear spray.

Take a great hike up the Sulphur Skyline Trail then relax in the hot springs. Good to wildlife viewing scenery. If you are just going for a soak, the hotsprings are best on a cool fall day, a rainy summer day or in the evening.

A bit of a tourist trap. Skip the skywalk and take a hike up Wilcox Pass for amazing views of the Columbia Icefields.

Winter: Great canyon walk along the frozen bottom in the winter. Best to take a guided walk the first time you go in the winter as can be tricky, slippery and wet. Companies will supply you with boots and crampons.
Summer: hike up the canyon, starting at the 6th Bridge. About a 2-hour hike, that gets more spectacular as you hike up the canyon - it also gets much busier as you hike towards the top as well, as most people park in the parking lot at the Tea House and only visit the bridges 1-4 (this is a good option if you are short on time or don't want to hike 2 hours).

Good, locally owned and operated restaurant with a middle-eastern(ish) flare. Good vegetarian and GF options as well. Happy Hour in the winter (4-6) is a nice treat for drink and appie specials.
