10. Experience Backcountry Camping
If you’re up to a slightly more challenging, off-the-beaten-path adventure, why not do some backcountry camping here in the less traveled backcountry camping areas? Banff is a fantastic location for backcountry camping, with stunning camping areas and hiking trails to tackle. Frontcountry camping allows you to drive your car right to your campsite and offers other amenities.
Backcountry camping requires you to actually hike to your campsite. You’ll also have to carry in all your gear and there are no amenities either. You’ll need a permit from Parks Canada too.
11. Take The Banff Town Walking Tour

Not only is there a lot to do in the park; there’s a lot to do in town too. The town’s history is significantly tied to fur trappers, indigenous residents, and European visitors. You can learn all about the history of Banff by taking the educational Banff Historic Walking Tour.
The town guide, Graham, has reportedly lived in town for more than 50 years. He is quite knowledgeable about the area. His tour comes highly recommended and will contextualize your trip.
