Or else, ride to the Basin National Historic Site and the Cave and follow it up with a ride to Sundance Canyon along Sundance Road.
The Vermilion Lakes offer a spectacular sight in the Banff National Park area. Deer, elk and waterfowl are viewed easily. Watch out for bald headed eagles between the First and Second Vermilion Lakes. Be careful while you bike in this area so as to avoid collision with fellow cyclists.
Rafting in the Kicking Horse River is a thrilling adventure in the Canadian Rockies.

A professional photographer on board with you in the raft would provide commentary along the ride. At the end of this ride enjoy a sumptuous meal at the base camp from where you get a marvelous vies of Yoho National Park.
