You can choose to explore the park in a variety of ways. You can take a hike or bike ride and admire the picturesque landscape, including never-ending meadows, log cabins, cascading streams and glaciers sparkled with snow. You can also take a scenic cruise on the sparkling waters of Lake Minnewanka or rent a canoe to explore the lake’s many different channels. Take a tour of the underground cave systems of Rat’s Nest or ride roller coasters in the Cave and Basin National Historic Site. The Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray station at the top of the gondola is a must-see; where you can stand beneath colourful lights and stars illuminating the sky, while able to admire the beauty of the mountains and lake below.
