The scenery was spectacular; the guides were friendly, helpful, and personable, the weather cooperated, as it was warm enough to explore, yet cool enough not to break into a sweat.

We feel sorry for the merchants. We are camping in Banff and while we typically contribute to the economy, apparently its a queer/gay weekend in Banff so both of us couples went to Canmore and Lake Louise instead. No money spent in Banff.
Banff National Park has been on my bucket list for many years. It is truly magnificent. Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were gorgeous. The entire area is one scenic panorama leading to another. There were still some crowded areas after Labor Day but it was manageable compared to what mid-summer must be like. We were a bit surprise that we didn’t see any wildlife at all.
Most beautiful view I’ve ever seen in my entire life. 💙
Must place to go especially for nature lovers. The unreal Colors of the lakes have to be seen to be believed.
Our visit to the Park and the Town of Banff was nothing short of amazing. Because we are Marriott members, our hotel was located in Kananaskis, so we used our rental car to get back and forth to our excursions in the park and shopping in the town. In addition to our hike and canoe ride, we also drove up to Lake Louise. We were not disappointed by anything we saw and certainly could have done more if time allowed. The mountains and glaciers are magnificent and pictures do not do them justice. The town was great for shopping and dining. As I mentioned in another review, the Canadian people are very warm and friendly. Everyone treated us almost like we were friends. We clearly have reasons to go back and, perhaps, we can see and do more next time.
Banff is truly a treasure. The only problem we had was with the crowds and the parking. The sights were magnificent and well worth the trip to seeing it.
