HI Castle Mountain Wilderness Hostel🛏️🌲

Simple but cozy hostel at Castle Junction between Banff and Lake Louise. Kinda like a little cabin outpost in the forest with Castle Mountain looming above. Great spot for early starts to the day and beating crowds. Also a great way to meet other adventurers in the area.
