6. Destination: Lake Louise, Alberta
Beautiful scenery is a year-round affair at Lake Louise, thanks to the mesmerizing Rocky Mountains as the backdrop to the landscape. Though the foliage doesn’t offer as dramatic of a colour-scheme as the east coast, you’ll still notice the golden larch trees, particularly in September. If you’re coming from the north, be sure to take the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) towards Lake Louise, which allows you to take in the rugged landscape.
