The town of Banff is a charming mountain village nestled in a national park. Banff National Park is home to the world renowned Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. If you are looking for a stunning mountain experience, venture up the road from Canmore into the winter wonderland!
This was the hike where we got engaged! The road out there is very scenic if you're looking for a winter drive.
Head out this short drive to see an epic view of the Banff Springs Hotel, a castle in the rockies! We were lucky enough to stay at the hotel while Mike did renovations work on it!
If you're a skiier (we're more of ski lodgers...), there are 3 ski resorts in Banff: Lake Louise, Sunshine Village, and Mt. Norquay.
Full disclosure- we haven't been but totally want to! If you want a unique Canadian mountain adventure this may be the place to start!
Check out 360 degree views of the Calgary skyline and Rocky Mountains. Ask Mike for details on the construction if you're into that kind of thing ;)
Our favorite cocktail bar in Calgary, set up as a speakeasy behind a bookshelf! Reservations required.
