Banff Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Compared to current Ontario temperature of -30, Banff still feels warmer, even on a cold day like today. Perhaps, it's because Banff is sheltered within the mountains or maybe it's the dry air. In Ontario, the sun comes up around 7:30am, in Banff the sun doesn't seem to come up until 8:30 or so. It's a challenge to get use to the darkness in the...

30/9/08 Michael had informed us that the sunrise on the lake was great and encouraged us to get up at 06:00ish to check it out. I was going to but didn't, I was so tired after the long day yesterday, plus not wanting to dose off in the van throughout the day! Chris went though and saw a bear, he had passed two women who had informed him, he had ...

Over-nighted here and up early the next morning for a 3 hour drive to Revelstoke and the heli pad

Today we have driven from Leduc to Banff which took about 6 hours! Banff is pretty much a skiing town though a lot bigger than Jasper which was the last town i visited in the Rockies! I think Banff is more a place where the rich kids come to play in the winter! Anyway have a look at the pics and enjoy!

Now everything in the NP from Jasper to Banff is really expensive, whether you want a cup of coffee, an excursion or accommodation, so needless to say we had to be careful where we decided to stay....this meant that KOA campsites & hostels were the order of the day.....not a bad thing, you start to view quality from a different perspective e...

Thankfully the temperature has warmed up to a tropical -20°C for week 2. On the skiing side, the snow has been awesomely good this week. Off-piste there is still plenty of powder and most of the pistes are groomed at nights so it's great for carving down the blues, greens and downhill runs at high speed. They don't tend to groom the black diamo...

Woke up feeling a lot better than yesterday! We decided to head to Sunshine for our last day of skiing. Once again the view was spectacular! Feeling rather ambitious, we attempted a black diamond. I mean, how hard could it be once we had mastered the snow plough?! We're thinking it would be pretty fun to tube down one of those! Well, as a grand ...

This time down the Icefield Parkway, the weather was pretty lousy. My first day of rain and it was even snowing once I got past the Columbia Icefield. Before today I had been enjoying really nice weather. The rest of the trip down the Parkway was just as amazing as the first day I went on it. This would have to be the most scenic drive in the wo...

Had a fantastic day with my Aunt Barbara, my sister Steph, and my adorable niece Kaitlin. We went to Banff, Lake Louise, and Canmore. I was so glad my aunt got to see all of it as she is from Ontario, and we are very blessed out here to be surrounded by such beauty. Take a look at the pics... :)
