We traveled to Banff the first week of March 2005 for a 5 day stay at the Rimrock Resort. My mother had visited the area in the summer several years ago. After hearing her stories about the busloads of tourists, crowded hotels and restaurants, etc. I ...
Well I was 25 years old and it was November when I decided to head out to the Lake Louise/Banff area, to look for work, and to clear my mind.
I flew into Calgary from Hamilton Ontario for about $220.00 at the beginning of November in hopes to...
Pros: Banff National Park - truly exquisite! Cons: It is huge!
Banff National Park up in the northern part of Alberta is perhaps one of the most exquisite places I have ever visited. It does seem to be untouched by humans. There are more truly breathtaking sights in one place than I have ever seen, and I consider...
Pros: Long Scenic drive, few man-made detractions from nature's splendour Cons: Long drive, heavy RV traffic during the summer, few services (less in winter)
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
Do you want to drive one of the world's most scenic drives? Then get yourself to Banff or Jasper, Alberta. There is a highway that connects these two places, called the Icefields Parkway....
Pros: Spectacular Views, Great Hike Cons: None if taking the gondola
If you want to save some money in Banff and test your physical condition, try hiking up Sulphur Mountain, and ride the Gondola down for free. We parked our car at the Upper Hot Springs parking lot. The sign at the bottom said it could take between two...
We drove about 51km northwest of Banff along the Trans Canada Highway to Lake Louise on August 19, 2000. Known to the Stoney Indians as "Lake of the Little Fishes," Lake Louise was named in 1884 in honor of Princess Louise Caroline Alberta,...
We left Lake Louise on August 19, 2000 driving 130km north on the Icefields Parkway Highway 93 to the Columbia Icefield Chalet. The Icefields Parkway is considered to be one of the most scenic highways in the world. We stopped at numerous places along...
Pros: Spectacular natural beauty; fun and unassuming, a wide range of activities for everyone to enjoy Cons: Travel times to get there can be long.
I had two vacations in Banff during the same trip. During a week-long period that included Labor Day in 1998, we went from rags to riches, camping for several days in the campgrounds above town and moving to the swanky Banff Springs Hotel, where my...
Pros: Close to Banff, Lower Prices for Lodging and Food, Good Mountain Trails Cons: None
If the hotels in Banff are full, or you want to save a little money on your hotel room, I highly recommend staying in the town of Canmore, only five minutes from the entrance to Banff National Park. The town of Canmore hosted the Nordic Skiing events...
Pros: Amazing scenery, fresh air, fascinating wildlife, friendly locals (like me!) Cons: Tourists who don't respect the wildlife, too crowded
Ah Banff...nestled in the Front Ranges of the Rocky Mountains. There are few as picturesque locations in all the World that can rival Banff National Park. I am one of the lucky few that can say that "I was born and raised in Banff." In my 23 years...
The Banff Springs Hotel is very unique, walk into the lobby and you will see a spiral staircase going into the ceiling. This use to lead to the floor above. It is the common story that a young bride fell down these stairs and died. Her ghost was suppose...
Pros: Beautiful, lots to do, hidden places. Cons: Busy all year.
Banff is a wonderful place to visit. The price for a room at the Banff Springs Hotel can run from $199 to $ 1000 plus a night. The place was made for royal visitors. You do get the treatment as such. Deals can be had from some travel agents, but only on...
Pros: good camping grounds great hotels wildlife fun Cons: expensive
I was in need of a serious vacation and a friend had told me about this national park in Canada filled with beauty.I hopped onto the internet and found out all the information on the park.
Banff has lots of great spots that are spectacular to...
Pros: Exchange rate, Beauty Cons: Distance from Texas, where we live now
My wife and I left for Banff the day after our wedding in February, and I have to tell you neither one of us wanted to come back! After the horrible stress of the wedding, I was honestly thinking a week wouldn't be enough time for us to calm down and...
