Overview

Why Go?

Banff and Jasper national parks, 6,500 square miles of wilderness, where the Canadian Rockies erupt above Alberta's golden prairies.

Two of the world's grandest (and most photographed) hotels: the castlelike Fairmont Banff Springs and Chateau Lake Louise.

Glacier-fed lakes so blue that photos look they’ve been airbrushed.

What To Skip

Bus tours. No matter how big the windows, sitting inside a metal tube is no way to experience this wilderness.

What For:

Active + Adventure, Budget, Family, Outdoors + Nature, Skiing + Snowboarding

When To Go:

February, March, July, August
