There are so many amazing blogs about Banff National Park out there. So many of them I read when I was planning my trip out there. There are dozens of itineraries, lists of things to do, recommendations of where to stay, what to eat, where to buy souvenirs. I don’t know what I could say about a park this popular that hasn’t already been said.
So instead, for now at least, you can just watch! These two videos are from the two times I have visited Banff. I hit most of the highlights, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Johnston Canyon. There’s a lot of Banff I still haven’t explored so I would love to go back and do some of the less popular trails. But the popular ones are famous for a reason! They’re just so pretty!
If you want to read more about the Icefields Parkway I did write a blog with an itinerary for that as well as for Jasper National Park, Yoho National Park, and a four day itinerary for the less busy Kootenay National Park.
