Flights : Most people will first fly into Calgary international Airport, and then take the Banff Airporter to Banff. The Brewster Banff Airport Express route goes through the town of Banff, Calgary city, Lake Lewis, Canmore, Kananaskis Country and Jasper. You could arrange for pick up services through Mountain Limousine, which could bring you to Banff, Lake Lewis and Canmore.

Come to Banff National Park to be close to nature and enjoy the outdoors; try out the local restaurants and savor the poutine (a local delicacy of fries, gravy and cheese) and take the cable cars to witness Banff’s mountainous beauty. During winter, enjoy the snow and you could go to the time honored Fairmont Banff Springs for the spa and relax into your holiday bliss.

Banff welcomes its ‘short spring’ from May to the middle of June with the teeming up of the forest and with the occasional grizzly bear passing through; it entails a rather breathtaking moment. Summer is from mid-June to August and it is the ideal time for outdoor activities. With the sunny weather, you could stroll through the parks, go rock climbing, boating, and rafting. Autumn sets in from September to November, and with turning of the season the roads and sightseeing spots are starting to close down. You have to put on more clothing if you are planning to go outdoors. Mid-November to April begins the long winter season. This is best period of time for winter activities like skiing, ice climbing and soaking in the hot springs. In April, you could also watch the awakening of the hibernating bears in the mountains.

One of the most beautiful and serene places is Banff Alberta. There are so many awesome spots to take photos, and it’s not difficult to get good shots either! Here are three of my favorite lava toons to take photos in Banff: 1. The bluest water you will ever see is at Moraine Lake. The lake sits directly below an epic mountain range. The best time to go is early in the morning. There aren’t as many people in the mornings either. If you’re lucky enough to get cloud coverage, hike up above the downed log to get a spectacular view of the valley and lake. 2. Lake Louise is another amazingly blue lake that sits in the park. It is made up of direct glacier runoff. The best time to go for photos is sunset. If conditions are right, you may get an illuminated orange sky that makes perfect photos. 3. Lastly, one of my favorite places, is the town of Banff. It is a beautiful small mountain town, with spectacular views in every direction. The Prince of Wales Hotel sits on the South side of the town and it definitely a must see. #awesomepic #banff #photographyguide #givethanks

The Tower of Babel scramble in Banff National Park is one of the most amazing adventures in the entire park. start at the base of Moraine Lake and climb the steep scree shoot until you pop out into the top. Once you’re at the top you’ll have stunning views of Consolation Lakes on one side and Moraine Lake on the other. Few people ever make it this far!
