Having explored the town of Banff and its immediate vicinity, it’s time to venture further afield. In the spirit of saving the best for last, this latter portion of my Banff itinerary will check off some of the most spectacular sights the park has to offer, including majestic Lake Louise, breathtakingly beautiful Moraine Lake, and the scenic Icefields Parkway.
Now that I’ve covered the fundamentals of planning a trip to Banff, it’s time to delve into the specifics of where to go & what to do. In this post I’ll cover the first half of my itinerary, exploring the highlights in and around Banff townsite. During these three days you’ll take a dip in Banff’s famous hot springs, enjoy several of its stunning mountain-top views, and visit the largest of its beautiful blue lakes.
Banff National Park is Canada’s oldest & most-visited national park, and once you’ve been there—or even just seen pictures—it’s not hard to see why: It is, quite simply, one of the most stunningly gorgeous locations on this planet. And this one week itinerary is the perfect way to take it all in! You’re going to get awe-inspiring mountain views, see beautiful blue glacial lakes, and have some epic once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
