Complete Banff Travel Guide

Three trips. Over 100 places mapped. One guide that actually tells you what to do, where to eat, where to stay, and which hikes are worth setting a 5am alarm for. This is the Banff resource we kept wishing existed, so we built it ourselves.

Planning a Banff trip is overwhelming. The lake photos alone will send you down a three-hour rabbit hole before you've booked a single thing. We've been there, literally, three times now, and every trip taught us something the last one didn't. This guide pulls all of it together: the itineraries, the logistics, the 100+ places we've mapped across the Canmore, Banff and into Yoho, and the honest opinions on where to spend your time and money. Consider it your shortcut to skipping the planning spiral and getting straight to the good part.

If you’re planning a trip to Banff, this guide is absolutely worth it. You can tell it was created by someone who has actually been there multiple times and learned from each trip. It feels less like a generic travel guide and more like getting recommendations from a well-traveled friend who already did all the trial and error for you.

The mapped locations, honest opinions, itinerary ideas, and food/hotel recommendations make planning so much easier and way less overwhelming. I especially appreciated that it doesn’t just show the “Instagram spots” — it actually helps you decide what’s worth your time, what to skip, and how to make the most of your trip.

The guide is super organized, easy to follow, and packed with helpful details without feeling overwhelming. Definitely saved me hours of research and made me even more excited for the trip. Highly recommend for anyone heading to Banff, Canmore, or Yoho!
