6. Take Pictures At A Glacial Lake

Many veteran visitors say their trip to Banff was inspired by striking photographs of the shining turquoise lakes and majestic mountains there. So be sure to take plenty of pictures of your own while you’re there. Some of the most popular places to shoot photos in the park are Lake Minnewanka, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake. Mind you, these lovely lakes are quite crowded during the summer. If you want to avoid the crowds and any potential photo bombs, visit early in the day, or even in late spring or early fall. Less popular yet pretty lakes include Chephren Lake, Peyto Lake, and Two Jack Lake.

 

7. Spend The Night In An Alpine Hut

Banff, like the Dolomites or Mont Blanc, is home to several alpine huts that people can hike or ski to and spend the night in. They provide intrepid adventurers with an immersive experience. It’s also a noteworthy compromise between a cozy cabin stay and even more challenging mountaineering.  

Spending the night in one of these alpine huts is arguably one of the most memorable and unique experiences offered here. Alpine huts include both private rooms and sizable dorms. Additionally, most lodges offer food and drink for an additional charge.
