- 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! See more...

Thank you for those tips, when you say warmer clothes, do you mean winter or just jacket and jeans?
