Undoubtedly one of Canada’s most picture-perfect settings,
Banff National Park and the town of Banff makes for a perfect
day trip from Calgary. While there are a variety of ways to get
from calgary to Banff, for those who enjoy taking their time and
having the opportunity to stop and see the sites whenever the
urge strikes, taking a car (either your own or a rental) may be the
best option.
Drivable in under 90 minutes, the route itself is nothing short of
spectacular, taking in incredible mountain vistas shortly after
leaving the city, and which never let up along the way. After
passing canmore (also a great place to stop for some
sightseeing) and entering the park gates, you’ll find yourself in the
town of Banff, the only community located in magnificent Banff
national Park. It’s a great place to explore either before or after
touring the park, and features plenty of shopping and dining
opportunities.
One of the highlights of your visit, though, will be seeing lake
louise. Famous for its dazzling turquoise waters framed by
stunning snowcapped mountains, the tallest reaching heights of
over 3,000 meters, it’s the ultimate (safe) selfie spot, and a great
place to pause and reflect on the splendor and natural beauty of
this part of the world.
