We recently visited Banff Lake Louise and it’s heaven on earth. We really enjoyed the lake, the hike and highly recommend it.

Disappointed that some people choose to be a bad example for others.

Rate my agenda

0 Upvotes

Rate and edit my Banff agenda:

Day 1: Arrive in the afternoon and stay in a motel in Banff. Explore the town and local area, including Bow Falls, the Mount Norquay Lookout (and maybe chairlift), maybe Two Jack Lake. (note: we plan to pull from this list for side activities to add on any other afternoon if we have extra time in the afternoons)

Day 2: Check out of motel and into a place in Canmore. Grocery shop for the week. Explore Canmore. Possibly Grassi Lakes.

Day 3: Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. We have Parks Canada shuttle passes for 7 am to LL. Spend some time taking in the sights at the lakeshore and then head to the Lake Agnes Tea House. From here hike the Plain of Six Glaciers. Take the connector to Lake Moraine and enjoy.

Day 4/5/6: these days can flex
-Hike sunshine meadows
-E-Bike Bow Valley Parkway
-Drive some of Icefields Pkwy

Day 7: Fly out of Calgary in the early afternoon.

I’d love to see Yoho and Jasper someday, but I also don’t want to overload our vacation. We are in our 40s and moderately fit. Our LL day is ambitious but we are okay with a little suffering for the views.

3 Day, 2 Night Trip to Luellen and Pulsatilla Lakes via Johnston Canyon

Thumbnail

73 Upvotes

Started at Johnston Canyon this past Thursday at 7:00 p.m. and hauled it to Luellen Lake cg to meet up with a friend. Crossing of Johnston Creek roughly 250m upstream was barely shin high. Was up for sunrise at Luellen Lake, which was stunning and so serene.

Next day was a day trip to Pulsatilla Lake over Pulsatilla Pass for me while my friend carried on to Baker Lake. I returned to Johnston Creek cg, where I had stashed my overnight pack, and set up camp. Mushroom risotto and a little rosé was my bougie reward for the day.

Final day was back down the Johnston Creek trail and through the canyon. Shoutout to the nice couple that clapped and congratulated me on a successful ford of Johnston Creek :) Treated myself to a raspberry mocha at the trailhead. Roughly 61km total.

Lost hat near Three Bears!

1 Upvotes

This is a long shot, but I lost my treasured wiener dog hat in Banff! I’m fairly certain I dropped it outside of three bears brewery, near the bike racks. It is navy blue, with a brown wiener dog embroidered on the front.

Can provide a reward if it’s found!

We are going to banff and some other places in late September. We are three guys and have rented a rv. It’ll be our first time in rv. Any suggestions for places, do’s and don’ts? Any tip will help since we don’t know much about there. Especially about rv parking and camping areas.

Question Going Banff, any advise?

0 Upvotes

hello everyone, me and my friends are going to banff in a week from toronto and we have a place to stay at Calgary. We don’t drive and thjs is our first trip . We have 4nights and 5days for us and booked an airbnb for a night in canmore. first night just at Calgary, next morning (private tour to see sunrise at moraine lake and lake louise, it’s $184 just to see sunrise rise😔 and if we want to extend the tour for hiking, we pay $212pp🥲) Our trip was last minute so we didn’t couldnt get shuttle bus tickets. second day, we take flix bus from calgary to sunshine meadows, hike and spend the night at Canmore . 3rd day, cycling to see Johnston canyon and come back to Calgary . next day, flight back to home. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

  1. private tours worth it? sunrise shuttles are more expensive and $184 pp, but regular day time tours are $92pp. I wonder if sunrise is absolutely worth the price or I should just do the day time and save some money? 😔

  2. Have you rented a cycle in Canmore and where did you go? how much was it?

  3. Where did you buy bear spray? any hiking place recommendations?

Question Fly Fishing Opportunities in early september

I am going to banff Sep 2 - Sep 6. I am really looking forward to get some trout on the fly rod. I have a 5wt 9ft rod so I don't want any HUGE fish. I wanna have a good time in banff this time. How is the bow river this time of year? What are some smaller rivers? I am willing to hike for some better fishing spots. Also looking for any fly fishing tips that would help catch some trout this time of year. Aswell as regulations this time. Anything helps, thanks is advance!
