With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience everything that Field, 45 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Yoho National Park, Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls. The locals will also probably point you toward Lake Louise, 50 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it’s Herbert Lake. (But we’re also big fans of Olympic Chair Ski Lift and Glacier Express Quad Ski Lift.)
