Banff National Park for First Timers

We've explored Banff National Park four times in the past two years — and each visit has been packed with adventure. We've brought friends and family along, tackled all kinds of itineraries, and fine-tuned the logistics time and time again. Now, we're sharing everything we've learned to make your trip planning way easier.

Hi! We're Nathan and Prerna, creators of @theadventuretwosome, an outdoor and travel blog that inspires others to get outdoors and explore with confidence and joy. We're both in our mid twenties and discovered our love for the outdoors during the pandemic when we would go on lots of hikes together (because there was not much else to do) and haven't looked back. We're on a mission to explore Canada's incredible landscapes and visit bucket list adventures around the world.

We're based in Vancouver, BC, Canada and love hiking, camping, sports, and any kind of adventure really!
