Banff Nat’l Park

Banff National Park

Can there be a place more beautiful than this? I don’t know. All I do know is around every bend of the trail there was a “wow” . This park is nestled among the peaks of the Canadian Rockies. It is the first national park established in Canada and is a coveted UNESCO World Heritage Site. This place is a combination of vast unspoiled wilderness, mountain lakes like Lake Louise, and the gateway to it all: the Town of Banff. Closest airport is in Calgary, Alberta, about a 90-min drive along the TransCanada highway. No matter the time of year, Banff is a must-see. For more info check out http://www.banfflakelouise.com/About-the-Area/Banff-National-Park And for a special treat, be sure to go to Lake Louise and hike up to the tea house.  The Lake Agnes Tea House is one of the most famous trails in Lake Louise and the Canadian Rockies.  You’ll hike up to an altitude of 2,135 m/ 7,005 ft. When you arrive at the Lake Agnes Tea House http://www.lakeagnesteahouse.com/ you’ll be rewarded with stunning views and the opportunity to rest on the porch, order up a pot of freshly steeped tea and a bowl of homemade soup, or a delicious sandwich or dessert.
