the spectacular view across Lake Louise.
Banff is the crown jewel in Canadas national park system and home to the worlds most photographed lakes. Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and the Icefields Parkway are just some of the parks awe-inspiring highlights. Biking along the shoreline of Lake Minnewanka, exploring Larch Valley when fall colors are at their height, canoeing across Bow Lake, and hiking in to backcountry Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park may not be as well known, but each activity allows a glimpse of the park you wont see inw the tourist brochures.

While the Canadian Rockies can be visited year-round, there are two influxes of visitorsone in the warmer months and the other in winter.
Summer (late June-mid-Sept.) is definitely high season, especially the school holiday period of July through August. Simply said, the weather is unbeatable. The season is dominated by long, warmand sometimes hotdays, everything is open, and theres plenty to do and see. Crowded parks, higher prices, and difficulty securing reservations are the downside of summer travel.
Late spring and early fall are excellent times to visit the Canadian Rockies for two reasons: Youll avoid the crowds, and youll save money.
Fall is prime elk-viewing season in Banff.
Spring (mid-Apr.-late June) is notable for long days of sunlight (in late June it stays light until after 10pm) and a sense of optimism for the upcoming warm months.
Fall (mid-Sept.-Nov.) can be delightful, especially September, with lingering warm temperatures and a noticeable decrease in crowds immediately after the long weekend (at the beginning of the month). While fall colors in general lack the intensity of those in the eastern provinces and New England, larch turn a brilliant yellow throughout subalpine areas of Banff and Kananaskis in mid- to late September.
Local ski resorts begin opening for the winter (Dec.-mid-Apr.) in late November. The best powder snow conditions are January-February, although for enthusiasts looking for a combination of good snow and warmer weather, March is an excellent time of year to visit.

To enter Canada, a passport is required of citizens and permanent residents of the United States. For further information, see the website http://travel.state.gov. For current entry requirements to Canada, check the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website (www.cic.gc.ca).
All other foreign visitors must have a valid passport and may need a visa or visitors permit depending on their country of residence and the vagaries of international politics. At present, visas are not required for citizens of the United States, British Commonwealth, or Western Europe. The standard entry permit is for six months, and you may be asked to show onward tickets or proof of sufficient funds to last you through your intended stay.
No vaccinations are necessary for visiting Canada.
Visitors to the Canadian Rockies have the option of arriving by road, rail, or air. The main gateway city for flights from North America and Europe is Calgary, while Vancouver is also a popular starting point. From these two cities, as well as points across Canada, scheduled train and bus services pass through the region year-round.
Driving, whether it be your own vehicle or a rental car, is by far the best way to get around the Canadian Rockies, although most towns are served by bus.
Unless youre passing directly through, passes are required for entry into the five national parks of the Canadian Rockies. Monies collected from these passes go directly to Parks Canada for park maintenance and improvements.
A National Parks Day Pass for Banff is adult $9.80, senior $8.30, child $4.90, up to a maximum of $19.60 per vehicle. It is interchangeable among parks and is valid until 4pm the day following its purchase.

Both types of pass can be purchased at park gates at the tollbooths at either end of the Icefields Parkway, at all park information centers, and at campground fee stations. For more information on passes, check the Parks Canada website (www.pc.gc.ca).
