Banff is a nice place. Be sure to check out Lake Louise and Moraine Lake when you do visit Banff. The parking lot at Lake Louise get full quickly, so either go early or park at the overflow parking and take the shuttle bus down. Last time I went in September 2021, the road to Moraine Lake was closed to private vehicle access, so you have to take the shuttle bus if you want to visit Moraine. Not sure if things are still the same, be sure to check online for most updated info if you do plan to visit.

gnilma's Hiking Adventures 12 - Turquoise Waters viewed from Sea to Summit Trail

That water 🤯 I tried to get out to Banff in 2020, had it planned early in the year but then covid hit and Canada cut off international flights. The next year we tried to go again and were told that we'd have to quarantine ourselves there upon arrival for 5 days at our own expense.

Said to hell with it. Haven't gone yet. Still salty about it. Definitely will suck it up and get out there at some point lol.
