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. ...

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...

The ride up the Sulphur Mountain gondola is a must-do when visiting Banff. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the top, and you can stay up there for as long as you want. From the top of Sulphur Mountain, you get to look out at all the surrounding mountains, and everything below, including Banff. ...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

The popular Lake Louise is almost a necessary stop when you go to Banff. Although it's crowded and full of tourists at any time of the year, how can you not go to the lake that frames almost every postcard of the rockies? Even though it was the off-season and the sky was overcast, when we arrived at...
