Dog Sledding by tmhoule

If you have the chance and the time, be sure to take an excursion and go dog sledding! The best tour company for this is Snowy Owl Sled Dog Tours. They are the real deal – a family operated group that truly have a love for the dogs. The scenery is amazing!

Awe inspiring mountain views. WIldlife galore! by JenSaysThis

I stayed in Banff for only four days for a wedding. I am DEFINITELY coming back as soon as I am able. The national park is absolutely huge, with lots of trails of varying degrees of difficulty. It’s impossible not to miss the wildlife – elk, big-horn sheep, mule deer, moose, grizzly bears, just to name a few. Lake Louise is not to be missed, but be sure to hike further towards the glacier plains.

I stayed at The Juniper Hotel, which I highly recommend. The rooms are small, but who cares because you’ll want to be outside anyway!

Hey there! I’ll be visiting Banff for a wedding in late May. Decided to turn the visit into a 4-day outdoor adventure weekend. I’m hoping some of you folks can help me with some recommendations. My sister and I want to go kayaking, our fiancees want to do some hiking. Can anyone recommend a place where we can rent kayaks? Any adventure outfitters come to mind? Moderatelly difficult trails? Also, what is the weather generally like around that time? Thanks!

OMG! by emswife

In the ’70’s, it was as if God needed a place to rest and he created Banff.

I arrived in the night during winter and couldn’t figure out why there were stars visible only directly overhead. When the sun rose the next morning, I was dumb struck by the peaks that surround Banff.

And the Banff Hotel is a part of Europe transported here magically.

I don’t know if Banff has been Park City-ized in the 30 years since I visited but it was heaven on earth back then!
