Planning Banff, realistically

Banff Boundary helps visitors plan a realistic trip to Banff National Park and the Bow Valley, from the town of Banff to Canmore just outside the park gate: where to stay, how much to fit into a day and what changes with the season.
Guides use Parks Canada and provincial information, published trail and road guidance and the experience of regular visitors. Conditions, closures and wildlife warnings change fast, so check current Parks Canada notices before you set out.
