Subject: RE: Travel Advice for Alberta Trip?So Fresh So Clean - 2011-07-21 1:37 PM Hopefully I am going during the 'off' season since the stampede is over... Does anyone know the best way to see Banff and the glaciers? I'd give you more information, but I really don't know much. - Looking to do a tour within 5 days, - So I would fly to Calgary, then drive to banff and the glaciers. Thanks !!!!!! Just yourself? Hiking? Shopping? You could wonder around Banff one morning. Head to lake louise for a bit. Hotsprings--nice drive to Radium--much better then Banff hot springs. marble canyon, paint pots and parker ridge(icefields) are a few hikes. Drive through golden then field. If you have the dough there are a few nice places to stay there-emerald lake lodge and cathedral. http://www.cathedralmountain.com/ http://www.crmr.com/emerald/ There is takakkaw falls http://www.pc.gc.ca/pn-np/bc/yoho/visit/visit16.aspx Head north up the hiway to columbia ice fields and Jasper. From jasper head west a bit to hit Mt Robson then head back Jasper to Edmonton(west edmonton mall to shop) This just a small sampling... good luck and have fun! |
