We are here at the minute. Immigration was two minute wait in Calgary and it’s an easy drive to Canmore. We stayed in Harvie Heights about 5 minutes up the road towards Banff.

There is a Safeway in Canmore for food etc and a Tim’s too. Banff and the area is lovely. Things I’d recommend ( we only had 3 nights)

- do the gondola - great views up the top, gets busy though, we booked ours online with an preselected upload time.

- horse riding in Banff, we did a short hour one but the views and experience was excellent.

- glacier is excellent, take warmer clothes, seems to have its own climate and allow plenty of time to drive as there’s loads of stops.

- Johnston canyon, great walks and views

- Two Jack Lake - you can swim in it ( we just paddled) and Lake Minnewanka, loads of mountain goats

- Lake Louise & Moraine Lake, just get there early though.

There are lots of hikes too we just didn’t get chance for many. Also had a beavertail, they are amazing!
