Banff National Park

Don't miss your chance to enjoy what our mother nature did create Its unbelievable how beautiful some places could be Yes ,it's cold but if you put more clothes you definitely will enjoy that hike with so many lakes and such a fresh air

The most beautiful place myself and family have been. Truly wonderful, peaceful, and a majestic testimony to God the creator. Canadian Rockies are so vast! Amazing colors to glacier-fed rivers and lakes. See actual glaciers as they descend from waterfalls to streams to lakes and to rivers.

Visiting Banff National Park is one of the most unforgettable trips that you will ever experience. To start, the 4 hour drive from Calgary will provide you with a road trip and scenery that is jaw-dropping, and that's just the "tip of iceberg" of what you will see once you arrive at the park. I HIGHLY recommend that you do not stay for less than a week because there is SO much to see, visit, walk, canoe, cable car, and drive that you will do yourself a disservice. The countless trails to hike, lakes to visits, animals to see (including grizzly bears), and mountain tops to climb will leave you stunned. The clear forest air, sounds of wildlife, rushing rivers, and waterfalls are things you will not forget. A rental car is an absolute must, with plenty of accommodations to be had, depending on where you want to visit and how much you want to drive. And drive you will do in order to get the full experience. The topography is unlike anything you have seen, as you drive through closed canopy forests, open fields, amazing canyons, and even glaciers. You will see wildflowers of so many varieties and colors that your eyes will dance with excitement. You will wish you had a hammock to tie between trees or a comfortable blanket to lay in the massive fields of tall grass to enjoy a nap that you've probably never experienced or will. Go and do your heart, mind, and soul some good. Please respect the untouched beauty and throw your trash away in designated places.

Just a beautiful experience. This is a place that people can tell you about, like I am, but you will not appreciate the true beauty and vastness of this park until you visit for yourself. Everywhere you look the sights are breathtaking. At times I found myself just staring taking in the view being lost in nature.

Absolutely magical. I was able to spend 4 days here: 1 day visiting the touristy lakes, 2 days hiking, and 1 day cycling. The down sides are the overwhelming number of people that are here and the speed at which people drive on the main road, which I noticed everywhere in Alberta. Neither are the fault of the park so no reason to lower the rating, but it does mean this was probably the only time I’ll visit. I highly recommend Sunshine Meadows for a fantastic hike with less people!

This was my first solo road trip and I truly enjoyed it. Loved travelling alone in my car. Empty highways without any lights and under the full moon, listening to good music, the drive was excellent. One of my favourite places in the world. Though I went in winter after lakes are frozen and landscapes are mostly black and white, that winter climate also makes the journey and the destination enjoyable and memorable.

The town of Banff is so beautiful. So many great trails and hiking areas. Beautiful scenery and many places to explore. Lots of free parking its about 5 minute walk to downtown. Free parking is also close to the Banff sign. Beautiful scenery at the gardens which are accessible by walking. Great restaurants as well. Lots of wildlife.

Stunning Beauty and Adventure! Banff National Park is a must-visit! The breathtaking scenery of Lake Louise and the Rocky Mountains is like a dream. The hiking trails are well-maintained, and Johnston Canyon is a highlight with its beautiful waterfalls. The park is well-organized and clean, with helpful shuttle services and visitor centers. Wildlife sightings, including elk and mountain goats, were incredible. Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventurers alike!
