Banff and Jasper

From Lake Louise head west into Yoho National Park in B.C. The descent into the Yoho valley is quite spectacular, stop at the pullout for the spiral tunnel which is an impressive engineering feat. At the bottom of the hill, there is a beautiful campground. So much to see and do.

In jasper take the tram and hike to the summit. Also a day trip to patricia and pyramid lakes for lunch, rent a canoe etc. Athabasca falls, the hike around the valley of five lakes and the day trip up to maligne canyon. Bike the trails around old fort point and the Jasper park lodge. Take some time to visit the tourist info center in the middle of town...they have great maps to all the best places and can advise time/cost of many things. River rafting is also a lot of fun.

Pack a picnic lunch and do a tour of the Athabasca and Sunwapta Falls.
Take the huge tour truck up and on the Columbia Glacier. Maligne Canyon and Lake are beautiful.
In Lake Louise, of course Lake Louise and take a hike to the tea house. Sit in the Chauteau and have lunch by the window overlooking the lake.
There is also Lake Moraine which is just as beautiful in my opinion.
Banff...shop shop shop. Plus Bow Falls, Lake Minnewanka, Banff Gondola, Cave a basin is fun.
One thing we enjoyed and will probably do again this year is the Banff Cowboy cookout. They take you by covered wagon out for a cowboy dinner.
There really is so much to do.
My husband and I will usually pack a picnic and drive and tour or have lunch at a out of the way place with atmoshpere.
Also in Calgary is the Calgary Stampede. We have tickets for this also this year.
Have fun, Maybe we will see you there.

Between Banff and Lake Louise, drive hwy 1A. If you get lucky you might see some of these. We came upon a herd right beside the road with four bulls this size.

Lake Louise is near Banff. The parkway can be explored from either. During our previous visit we dedicated a day each way between the two towns to explore the parkway. We'll be up there at the end of the summer and plan on doing the exploring on the way back down from Jasper as we'll have a bit of a time constraint when we land upon arrival.

May be going there this spring, following post.

I'm planning a trip there in 2017 could you please tell me which CGs you reserved?

Thanks
