Banff Resorts - Reviews and Rates

Again we had planned to go up Sulphur mountain and to the hotsprings as the forecast had predicted sun. Kerry got up just before I did and went whispered excitedly its snowed and its on the ground!!! I was excited then saw it was still snowing on the mountains which meant it was unlikely that we would be hiking up the mountain again!! I made pan...

Well we finally left Vancouver and headed towards the mountains. We met up with Razza (ex employee), for breakfast monday morning, who by the way is heading to NZ on Saturday to get married! Then went GPS shopping (of course), budget blown again and it wasn't even lunchtime. Apparently the GPS will work for us all over the world as long as we ca...

We managed to see Lake Louise, which is beautiful and if you walk for more than 20 minutes you can get away from the older and lardier tourists. There were two other lakes higher up which were also well worth the hike. But by the time we got to Banff I was feeling a bit grotty, so Gabrielle went on a couple walks around town on her ownsome and I...

Just a quick one today. Went to the concert last night. Bedouin Soundclash was the band. I hadn't heard much of them before the concert, but looked them up a few months ago online in Scotland and heard a few of their songs. I guess those songs weren't really indicative of their true, live style, but still really good. So to classify the band int...

Was so enjoying that sleep-in when the phone rang at 9.30am asking whether I was going on the scheduled tour of Banff! How embarrassing... Half a busload of train passengers looked me up and down as I stumbled on five minutes later, unshowered and dressed in what turned out to be totally inappropriate footwear for the morning. First stop was th...

Hi Everyone Thanks to all of you who emailed, lovely to hear from you with your news, keep it up.  Since last wrote have left Jasper and moved on to Nordegg.  On the way stopped at Columbian Icefields (major tourist attraction) incredible place.  It is very high up in the mountains and when we got there was snowing.  White sky, mountains, icefie...

Today we're in Banff. Bit bigger than Jasper and a bit busier. We decided to stop being tight and shell out for some camping at Tunnel Mountain RV Park. Enjoyed a proper shower and the use of the toaster, before heading off on a hike into town. We followed the Hoodoos trail, which took us along the Bow River to Bow Falls and the impressive and h...

Party Town Banff! I arrived in the early evening, went up to my room and bumped into my whistler friend Markai. She's a loud, friendly hair dresser from melbourne, hehe. She knew some swiss boys from her Moose tour and we all went on a pub crawl with some other people from the Hostel. First stop was a bar that had 1dollar Hi-balls....they are ju...

Day 6: Last night we stayed at a campsite amidst the rocky mountains. It was great and I slept like a log after the long hike during the day. Today our plan revolved around watching the u.s, czech republic game. We decided to get up early and get through another hike in the morning before the 10 am game. But we slept right through that option. I...
