I was up there years ago, but have nothing to suggest outside of the marked trails. You may want to check out the "OT---Zombies" thread to get some suggestions on protecting yourself from grizzlies though!Anyone spend any time hiking in Banff?

Scoping out Yoho & Kootenay on AllTrails as we speakI didn't get to go there when I visited Banff and Lake Louise, but I've heard great things about Yoho National Park - which is about an hour away, on the British Columbia side of the divide. You might want to check it out.
Lmao! Where do you guys find this classic comedy!
Great. I would definitely try to spend a little time on the B.C. side of the divide. The whole area is beautiful, but the western slope has a lot of distinctive scenery.Scoping out Yoho & Kootenay on AllTrails as we speak
We probably won't make Jasper due to our short stay but had Morraine on my short list. Peyto lake I'll have to check out, thank you. AllTrails is simply amazing for planning a hiking trip!You have to schedule in advance and go with a guide; but hiking on the Athabasca glacier is pretty cool. It is north of Banff, just into Jasper park.
Also, be sure to visit Peyto lake.
Plus, when you go to lake Louise you are only a couple Mike's from Morraine lake which I prefer over Louise. There is a great view once you climb the boulder rubble pile left behind by a glacier.
That depends on what you're looking for. Different strokes for different folks I guess. I've been to Glacier and Yellowstone camping and hiking for week long trips. I keep going back to Yellowstone and each time I go I find something new. I really don't have the urge to go back to Glacier. I'm getting to the age now though where just sitting on the deck of Jackson Lake Lodge in the Tetons with a cold refreshment is enough hiking for me.Glacier>>>>>>>>Yellowstone for sure.
Lived in Vancouver for a couple years and never made it out that far east. Very much regret that. Banff is definitely on our (my wife and I's) bucket list. We will very likely make it up there in the next five years.
Just pulled into Calgary a little bit ago. Almost didn't make it across the border (had to drive way too fast to get there) at 2300, I understand why. But the lady was a bitch.
Got 4-5 days in Canada before heading to Wisconsin next week. Last year we hit Atikokan for a few days then Thunder Bay.
Glacier>>>>>>>>Yellowstone for sure.
We're gonna head to Banff tomorrow. Then Jasper. After that no idea. I've never heard of Yoho, but I'll look into it. Any advice is appreciated.
