Western Canada Vacations: Banff Travel

Just a little more than an hour's drive from Calgary, Banff, Alberta, could well be in a different world.

Banff vacations have a lot to offer everyone from the hiker to the snowboarder to the wildlife-enthusiast to those who are looking to just relax and be pampered. It is a picturesque resort town surrounded by the wondrous Rocky Mountains with world class resorts, spas and other amenities.

Banff packages from Lets Explore Canada include everything you need for a trip to this unforgettable region. An endless array of outdoor activities are at your doorstep, but the town of Banff also offers a vast selection of dining options, quaint shopping boutiques, a summer arts festival, and even a hybrid bus fleet to get you around the town centre. Begin your winter vacation escape with a sightseeing wildlife tour to get to know the region and check out the mysterious hoodoos. Take an icewalk along the bottom of a canyon to marvel at frozen waterfalls. Trade your downhill skis for cross-country to view the rocky mountain scenery at a slower pace while getting an incredible workout. Do a nighttime trek under a canopy of stars and you may be lucky enough to catch a spectacular show by the famous aurora borealis or "Northern Lights". Soak away your day's exertions with a dip in Banff's famous hot springs.

There are no shortages of adventure options during Banff travel in the summer. Try your hand at spelunking in Provincial Heritage Site Rat's Nest Cave. Hop on a full-suspension mountain bike and ride down the park's many alpine and sub-alpine trails. Steer your kayak over impressive rapids on the best white-water river in the Rockies or have a peaceful paddle along the Bow river, if that's more your speed.
