Bow Valley Parkway

Alberta

It is an absolutely stunning drive through Banff National Park. The Bow Valley Parkway is a 50-kilometer-long (31-mile) stretch of road that runs parallel with Highway 1 that connects Lake Louise with Banff. Instead of driving on Highway 1, take the Bow Valley Parkway for a more scenic and relaxing drive.

The Hoodoos

Alberta

For those who don’t know, hoodoos are a distinct rock formation created when softer sedimentary rock is eroded by the wind, forming large columns that stick out of the earth up to five to seven meters tall. They take millions of years to form and always have a hard rock on top of them.

Canmore

Alberta

It is one of Alberta’s best mountainside tourist towns. But unlike Banff, Jasper, and Lake Louise, Canmore isn’t actually located within one of Canada’s National Parks – making it cheaper and more accessible for everyone.

Location:
900 Railway Avenue Canmore, Alberta T1W 1P4

12:00 pm

Castle Restaurant

Alberta

Their operating hours are not good for couples dating or for weary travelers spending the night in town. This place is for young local families and old people having a night out away from the nursing home.

14:00 pm

The Kananaskis

Alberta

The Kananaskis often gets overlooked as it sits directly next to the tourist hotspot of Banff National Park. However, the stunning valley offers all of the same outdoor activities with fewer crowds, plus, it’s closer to Calgary than Banff too!

Location:
Calgary, Alberta, Canada

17:00 pm

Piccola Napoli Ristorante

Alberta

The staff was friendly and the environment was welcoming. This restaurant is just the right size and serves good Italian food. The bread is very addictive.
