The ULTIMATE Banff TRAVEL GUIDE 2026

Video Overview & Insights

Here it is, the Banff National Park COMPLETE Travel Guide for 2026.

I have been visiting Banff since the 1970s, after having moved to Calgary. I also worked for the local Tourist Board for 10 years promoting the Banff area. I LOVE Banff, go to the Park at least 3-4 times a year, and want to share the Park with you.

In this video, I talk about how to get to Banff, how to get around the Park, where to stay (hotels and camping), where to eat, where to get great coffee (Banff has GREAT coffee) and of course, all of the attractions (including the townsite, museums, the Banff Springs Hotel, Surprise Corner, Vermilion Lakes, Two Jack Lake, Lake Minnewanka, the Banff Gondola, Johnston Canyon, Castle Mountain, Lake Louise, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, and the Icefield's Parkway. And along the way, I see a bear!

Banff National Park is a protected area located in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. It was established in 1885, making it the oldest national park in Canada and the third-oldest in the world. Banff National Park covers an area of 6,641 square kilometers and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including grizzly bears, wolves, elk, and mountain goats.

The park's landscape is characterized by majestic mountains, pristine lakes, and dense forests. Some of the most popular attractions in Banff National Park include Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and the Columbia Icefield. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping, skiing, and wildlife watching.

Banff National Park is also rich in history and culture. The park is part of the traditional territory of the Indigenous people of the area, including the Stoney Nakoda, Blackfoot, and Tsuu T'ina Nations. The park also has a long history of tourism, with its hot springs attracting visitors as early as the late 1800s.

In recent years, Banff National Park has faced several challenges, including over-tourism and the impact of climate change on the park's ecosystem. As a result, the park has implemented measures to reduce the environmental impact of visitors, such as limiting the number of visitors to certain areas and promoting sustainable tourism practices.

Overall, Banff National Park is a stunning natural wonder with a rich history and culture. It provides visitors with the opportunity to experience the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and to learn about the area's ecology and Indigenous heritage.
