Know Before You Go:
This is actually a collection of viewpoints rather than just a singular stop.
There is an official viewpoint on the Trans-Canada Highway but you’ll get better views and closer lake access if you leave the highway and drive along Vermillion Lakes Road.
If you can find a safe place to pull over on Vermillion Lakes Road and park your car you can walk along the road and enjoy the reflections of Mount Rundle reflected in the different lakes.
A great spot to enjoy a picnic lunch or watch a sunset.
