Tourist Guide

Lake Moraine, Banff
Lake Moraine, Banff
Quick trip up to the summit. Provides great views of the Bow Valley.
While in Banff I stayed at Banff Aspen Lodge. While the hotel was incredible the noise not so much. It's a super affordable hotel which tends to attract younger partiers. While I didn't get much sleep I did enjoy the fireside outdoor hot tubs. Towels are provided by the hotel and there is a local coffee shop right in the lobby. The hotel serves a full breakfast, has free WiFi and parking.
