Rating on Banff
Breathtaking scenery
Was here with my parents and the scenery in this region is just breathtaking, from the turquoise-blue Lake Louise to the Columbia Icefield (which is sadly receding at a shocking pace) to just the sense that you're in one of the places with the most history on this side of Canada. We visited the Banff Springs hotel to see one of the legendary old hotels that were built for the "new" railroad in the 1880's... Impressive!
- Stunning landscapes
- Friendly locals
- Glacier is receding... what a pity
