An exciting place to go, Sulphur Mountain, in which you can see the majestic-beauty all around you --> The Canadian Rocky Mountains! An inexpensive and memorable tourist spot in which you can take in the sight of Banff and the Bow River as you walk to the summit ... It will cost about $22.50 and fo…

Some great trails for mountain biking into the back country with amazing sights and sounds to experience. These trail range from moderate to difficult but worth the ride.

The Bow River runs through the village. Below the Banff Springs Hotel is a great access point to the river and Bow Falls. Here, you can park and hang out, sitting on the benches that line the river, or on the rocks on the riverside. This is a great spot to people watch, or watch the riverboats. …

Don't miss this!! Leaves from downtown Banff, stops at Lake Louise, Lake Pateo and several other places before going on to the Icefields. All day tour and well worth it!

The 15 minute drive to Lake Minnewanka is a nice drive. The colour of the water is the most beautiful shade of blue that I’ve ever seen (it doesn’t always look that nice shade of blue in pictures, though). If you’re feeling brave, you can take a swim, however, the water is extremely cold, as…

Norquay Ski Hill is the local ski hill in Banff. We drove up there, mainly to take in the views on the way up to the hill. They are amazing views, which everyone should have the fortune of seeing. It was beautiful.

You can’t go to Banff without going to the Banff Springs Hotel (affectionately known as the Castle in the Mountains). It’s a beautiful hotel that you can go into and look around, or walk through the outdoor gardens. Most people won’t buy anything from the shops that are in the hotel, as they…

Lake Louise is probably my favorite ski area in the Banff/Lake Louise area. Hundreds of runs, fast lifts (many of which are quads) and good chalet.
To get here from Calgary is about 1 hour and 45 minutes, so leave early! From Banff, it is under 30 minutes. Lift tickets are damn pricey per day, bu…

The Indian Trading Post is a great little shop to see Native art, jewellery, and other artifacts. It's free to go in and browse, of course. However, I'm not sure what the price of all ther products are. One thing that people may not know, though, is that it houses the remains of a merman. Whethe…

After moving to Banff, one of the first things I had to try was the hot springs. I’ve heard of them, seen pictures, but never experienced them before. And what a wonderful experience it was. There is nothing better than soaking in the soothing waters while enjoying the beautiful view of the mounta…

For anyone planning a trip to the Calgary area I'd definitely recommend heading out to both Banff and Lake Louise. While there will be a lot of tourists in both places at any time of year it is still possible to find secluded spots for yourself. At Lake Louise take the "Beehive Hike" up to a teahous…

The turnoff for Morraine Lake is a couple km before Lake Louise, and is a worthy visit. Although lesser known, this lake is also very beautiful and significantly less busy. We managed to arrive just as a bus of Asian tourists came by, but we hung around long enough for them to go on their way, and w…
