WHERE TO GO
Banff National Park
Banff is the crown jewel in Canada's national park system and home to the world's most
photographed lakes.
Lake Louise, Moraine Lake,
and the
Icefields Parkway
are just
some of the park's awe-inspiring highlights. Biking along the shoreline of
Lake Minne-
wanka,
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 won't see in the tourist
brochures.
Canmore
Canmore is the largest population center in the Canadian Rockies, but don't let that put
you off including it in your itinerary. In a little over three decades, it has transformed it-
self from a coal-mining town without a coal mine to a hotbed of recreational pursuits. The
surrounding mountains are legendary among the
climbing
fraternity.
Hiking
trails lead to
crystal-clear lakes
and
mountain peaks.
But Canmore should also factor into your va-
cation plans for more practical purposes, such as the range of excellent restaurants and a
choice of well-priced family-friendly accommodations.
