Banff Nature Itinerary for August 2023

  1. Day 1: Sulphur Mountain
    10 minutes (3.5 km) from Banff town

    Start the day with a gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Rockies. Take a walk on the boardwalk and explore the summit before stopping for lunch at the mountaintop restaurant. Spend the afternoon hiking one of the several trails available on the mountain. End the day with a scenic drive to Vermilion Lakes for a beautiful sunset.

  2. Day 2: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise
    1 hour (38 km) from Banff town

    Start your day early and head to Moraine Lake, which is known for its stunning turquoise waters. Take a stroll along the lake and enjoy the peaceful surroundings before heading to Lake Louise. Have lunch at the famous Chateau Lake Louise, which offers stunning views of the glacier-fed lake. After lunch, take a hike to explore some of the nearby trails. End the day with a drive along Bow Valley Parkway for a chance to see some wildlife.

Recommendations

In addition to the above itinerary, consider taking a side trip to Johnston Canyon for a beautiful hike along the canyon. If you want to maximize your fun, try out some of the adventure sports available, such as white-water rafting or horseback riding. I also recommend exploring the nearby town of Canmore, which offers a variety of restaurants and shops. Be sure to book your hotels and flights in advance to ensure availability.
