Banff National Park: What to Do in BANFF 2024

Published 2023-08-12
We’re showing you what to do in Banff and giving our top travel tips for visiting Banff National Park, Canada. You won’t want to miss this ultimate Banff travel guide!

This video features Banff National Park 2024: The BEST tips for budget travel to the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

We stayed right outside of Banff, in Kananaskis which offered affordable lodging. We ventured out to explore Kananaskis Village, hiked around Lake Louise, kayaked on Emerald Lake in Yoho National Park, stopped at Natural Bridge, journeyed through Johnston Canyon to see the lower falls, and then we went all over downtown Banff including Central Park, Cascade of the Time Garden, Bear Street Tavern, and Banff Upper Hot Springs.

We started our days off with Tim Hortons for breakfast and were energized for our adventures. We paid for our Banff passes and arrived very early to get parking at Banff National Park.

We also explored Lac des Arches, Lake Minnewanka, cave and basin which is Canada's first national park, and an incredible lunch at The Balkan and delicious dessert at Cow's ice cream.

We spotted lots of wildlife while in Banff including bears and Banff mountain goats. We visited at the end of May, soon after the lakes melt from being frozen during the winter months.

    Thank you so much for this video. I am visiting Banff and have not been able to find travel blogs by black people who visited there. I was a little worried but your video put my mind at ease. Unfortunately safety is always a concern when traveling.

    I meant to have added to my comment, that Lake Louise in winter is one of the most magical places on earth to visit, especially when it is snowing. Keep up you great work. I am glad I found you. Roger
