Banff
Trip Planning & Itineraries
The small, rustic alpine-style village of Banff Town, 86 miles (138km) west of Calgary, is a destination in its own right. Filled with chic restaurants and bars, outdoor-oriented shops and even some worthwhile museums, this national park hub attracts several million visitors a year.
In July and August the normal population swells by 25,000. Although this can cause problems, the many vacationers create a relaxed and festive atmosphere.
Suggested Itineraries: Banff
You could spend months in Banff National Park and not hike all of the park's trails. Whether you are up for climbing a snowcapped peak or just taking a quiet stroll through the woods, hiking is the perfect way to really experience the park's sublime beauty.
Canoeing and kayaking are peaceful ways to experience the park and watch for wildlife. You can go canoeing on Lake Minnewanka and nearby Two Jack Lake, northeast of Banff. Horseback riding is the perfect way to reach backcountry trails with a minimal effort on your part (although more so on the horses).
