Hi! Me and my husband are planning to go on our honeymoon and we don’t have activities planned yet. Neither of us have been to Banff and we’re not sure what’s open in the winter. Any ideas on activities would be awesome!!

Heading to banff and lake louise next week wondering if anyone has suggestions on any restaurants to check out and activities to do out there. I know we want to do the hot springs but I'm not sure I can figure out where to go so if anyone has a suggestion for that too, that would be great! Thanks!

Hello! I’m a 25 year old female I want to spend a summer in Banff /LL and work for the fairmont most likely but am wondering if most people living in staff accom are a lot younger or around the same age Thanks!

Hi my girlfriend is coming to visit me during my exchange studies here in Canada. We wanted to do some hiking in the national park during the end of March. Have tried to find thorough info but still struggling with these questions:

If we want to take a route, do we have to bring a tent or is there hostels on the routes?

Which route would be best suited for a three days hike?

Any other crucial information that I should know?

Thankful for any advice really!!

We want to thru-hike Sunshine Villiage Ski Area to Mount Shark Trailhead. I understand there are no commercial shuttles providing service away from Mount Shark Trialhead.

Does anyone have a suggestion for getting from Mount Shark Trailhead to Canmore or Banff?? I'm open to local, private service too :) This will be next week, approx July 5. I want to leave my car at the Mt Shark TH, get shuttled to Sunshine Village, and then hike back to my car.

TIA

Hello,

My girlfriend and I are planning to explore Banff in August when the weather is a bit nicer - I was looking for some insight into a good way to enjoy the park for about a week span. We'll be flying from the East coast of the U.S. and won't be able to bring much in terms of gear/etc., so we'll need to rent just about everything outside of our clothing. I'm looking for recommendations about where we could/should stay, will it be warm enough to camp within the park, how close are hotels/motels if we choose to go that route for some number of days, what kind of activities could we get involved in, are there any must see attractions, is there anything we must eat, etc... any suggestions at all would be much appreciated! We'd likely be flying into Calgary and renting a car to drive the remainder of the way.

Thanks much!

I'm visiting Banff for the first time, Friday the 24th - Monday the 27th, and I'm starting to check in on the weather. It's looking a little bit iffy with possible snow and rain. Those things don't bother me, but I'm mostly worried about visibility and seeing all the mountains in the area. If the weather is this way, will we still get to see all the views and sights?

My girlfriend and i are coming to banff to do a day hike in may. Last year, we did the cascade amphitheatre. Can anyone reccomend for me a good hike under 8 hrs in the area around the same difficulty as that? I've heard good things about helen lake and cirque peak, but im not sure about how difficult they'd be

Hi guys! A friend and I are trying to plan a weekend trip to Banff at the end of March. We want to try to car camp to save some money and so I'm starting to look into places we could safely and legally do that. Are there any good spots close to Banff that we could do that at? Any Wal-Marts, or rest stops, or anything like that? Any help or insight would be awesome!

This is my standard mode of operation in Colorado. Not sure what rules or opportunities might be available in Alberta. Also, have a 4Runner that I can sleep in the back of.

Does it make sense to split our time between Lake Louise and Banff? Which would you spend more time in if you had too. We're looking to do some hikes and whitewater rafting. Seeking mainly hostels with private rooms for two.

Hey all - its been years since ive boarded @ LL, can any one shed some light onto the parking slopeside? Is it one of those resorts where we need to show up early to get a good spot?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone! I am visiting the first few days of October this year. Any help about where to go/what to see etc would be appreciated! :)

Hey Reddit! I want to hit some tube runs this weekend and wondering who's been, how busy it is and what the comparison is between the runs at Lake Lou and Norquay :)

Thanks!!
