Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

How many beautiful walks are there in Canada’s Banff National Park? Too many to fit in a single blog entry! The best I can do is tell you about my favorites … and there are many.  Instead of overdosing you on all of them, I am going to roll them out one at a time.

Drum roll please…

#1 The Crystal Waters of Lake Louise

Lake Louise is one of the most popular spots in Banff National Park and for that reason, you will have plenty of company on your visit. But who cares – the blue waters of this glacial lake in the mountains are picture perfect and offer an authentic alpine experience.  The Fairmont has a resort on the lake but it is open to the public.  There is a nice walk alongside the lake that is truly pleasant. You can hike further to a teahouse, about a four and a half mile walk.

This is a  big ski area – I visited in the summer and the weather was stunning. Clear and cool.
