I first visited Banff in October. It was cold and relatively empty. It was a stark contrast to my most recent trip in early September when there were crowds everywhere and finding a parking space a popular places was pretty much the equivalent of winning the lottery. It hasn’t even been a year since my first trip to Banff, but it’s one of those places that keeps calling me back. Banff is stunningly beautiful and there is something to do in every season.
- Visit the teal blue lakes
- See the aurora
- Climb/scramble a mountain
- Watch the sunrise over the mountains
- Do a winter sport – ski, snowboard, or ice climb
Banff looks amazing! I would really love to visit it someday! Taking all in consideration, when is the best time to visit the national park?
I would say early fall, before it gets cold but after the summer crowds. Hope you make it there soon!
I hope so too 😍
Did you manage to see the aurora? Banff really does look stunning. I’d love to ski there
Yes! I saw the aurora in October. I’m hoping to do some skiing there this winter
Those teal blue lakes look absolutely amazing!
I can’t get enough of them!
Oh my! Christine, these are so gorgeous! I need to do more of Canada! Thanks for sharing!!
Canada is one of those places I keep going back to…
Banff is high on my list!! These photos are amazing! Lucky you that you got to see the lights!
Banff belongs high on your list 🙂 Thank you! I’m hoping to get lucky and see them again this year.
Ohh Christine, Banff is on the top of my to-go list. That kind of scenery is what my soul craves. I had no clue you can see the Aurora lights there too. Good to know that Sept is busy– I’ll go in Oct like you did! Beautiful pics!
Banff is amazing! I really can’t get enough. I hope you have a great trip!
I was in Banff most of the week and loved it and I really really fell in love with Jasper!
I need to spend more time in Jasper!
