Our Short Trip to Banff
We went to Banff, Alberta in June. It was a very short trip. We landed at the Calgary Airport, picked up the vehicle we rented from Hertz and made our way to Canmore, AB. We stayed at the Lodges at Canmore . You are required to purchase a ' National Park Pass' , we were able to do so once we arrived at the parking lot of Lake Louise. They do confirm the purchase of the pass before letting you into the lot. Lake Louise was the first stop on our itinerary. The commute was a little less than an hour with no traffic. We arrived around 9:00AM and it was quite busy. Around 11:00AM it jam packed with people and their beautiful dogs. We basically walked straight to the lake. There was no hiking involved for us. There were crowds of people surrounding the lake. If you are going for pictures (that was the sole purpose of our trip) I suggest getting there at least by 7:00AM. We were able to grab a few spots and everyone stepped aside as they thought we were all apart...
