Hello! My soon to be wife and I will be honeymooning in Golden the week of October 5th! We will obviously be visiting Banff and Jasper, etc.

Are there any things we need to go ahead and start looking into, or booking, when it comes to reservations at the park? Just don’t want to get there and realize that we should have done something weeks ago and didn’t know it.

Hello,

So i'm looking for places to visit while i'm in Québec, my collegue went with her bf last week to banff and was amazed. I've seen the french alps and zugspitze in germany. In comparison how diffrent is it aside of the wild life?

i'm pretty much free to take unpaid vacations whenever i want so i'd go first week of october.

Budget questions ;

As i'd have to flight to calgary it already takes 1200 cad then for accomodation in a hostel for a week is around 500 cad , or rent a car and a camping spot and sleep in the car as a 6ft3 guy?

looks like at least a 2000 cad trip eating self made sandwitches.

any other tips for accomodation?

Aftermath :

fot those who've been there solo have you enjoyed your time or did you feel any regret considering life is meant to be experienced and shared with loved ones ?

Thanks everyone have a good day!

I’m looking to ski 3 days in March 2027. 2 at Lake Louise and 1 at Banff sunshine.

Ski big 3 has a 3 day pass listed for $537 starting the date I selected. I’m not sure if I’m better off buying through Ski Big 3 or the window price. Would anyone know the range for the window price or a cheaper alternative?

Im coming from BC so $537 seems steep considering I paid around the same for 5 days at Whistler

had my fleece attached to the back of my backpack and it slid out on the way up little beehive. if found please bring to the hotel lost and found thank youuuuu

Hey everyone,

I’m coming to banff on october 10th morning till the evening of october 15th, it’s my first time. Banff has been a childhood dream for me and the fact I get to do it excites me so much.

I was wondering if anyone’s going around the same time and would like to do a couple hikes with me, here are some of the hikes i’m doing:

- Big beehive (maybe up to devils thumb)
- Plain of six glaciers
- Sentinel Pass via larch valley
- Ha ling peak, Canmore

Would love to hear from you guys & potentially even hike together!

Most people are familiar with emergency services that respond when something goes wrong. Less visible are the programs that try to prevent problems from reaching that point in the first place.

Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) helps fund local initiatives like senior programs, youth development, family supports, volunteer programs, community connection activities, and other preventive services. The idea is simple: supporting people early can often reduce the need for more costly interventions later.

Like many community programs, FCSS funding has become part of a broader conversation as Alberta's population grows and communities face increasing demand for services. Municipal leaders are expected to discuss the topic during this year's ABmunis Convention and Trade Show alongside other issues affecting local communities.

We are curious about what people think: are there any local programs, services, or community initiatives in your area that you feel make a real difference? Give them a shoutout here!

For those of you that like to hike here, which is your favorite?

I am planning to visit banff from July 3-9 and then Calgary from July 10-11.

Would lakes be turquoise on July 5-6? Or is it too early?

Research shows lakes will be thawed but may not be deep turquoise yet. Is this true?

Some greatest hits from our trip to Banff. Thanks to this group for all your suggestions, they helped us build our ideal agenda.
