I have been visiting Banff since the 1970s, after having moved to Calgary. I also worked for the local Tourist Board for 10 years promoting the Banff area. I LOVE Banff, go to the Park at least 3-4 times a year, and want to share the Park with you.
In this video, I talk about how to get to Banff, how to get around the Park, where to stay (hotels and camping), where to eat, where to get great coffee (Banff has GREAT coffee) and of course, all of the attractions (including the townsite, museums, the Banff Springs Hotel, Surprise Corner, Vermilion Lakes, Two Jack Lake, Lake Minnewanka, the Banff Gondola, Johnston Canyon, Castle Mountain, Lake Louise, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, and the Icefield's Parkway. And along the way, I see a bear!

Banff National Park is a protected area located in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in Alberta, Canada. It was established in 1885, making it the oldest national park in Canada and the third-oldest in the world. Banff National Park covers an area of 6,641 square kilometers and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including grizzly bears, wolves, elk, and mountain goats.
The park's landscape is characterized by majestic mountains, pristine lakes, and dense forests. Some of the most popular attractions in Banff National Park include Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and the Columbia Icefield. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping, skiing, and wildlife watching.
Banff National Park is also rich in history and culture. The park is part of the traditional territory of the Indigenous people of the area, including the Stoney Nakoda, Blackfoot, and Tsuu T'ina Nations. The park also has a long history of tourism, with its hot springs attracting visitors as early as the late 1800s.
In recent years, Banff National Park has faced several challenges, including over-tourism and the impact of climate change on the park's ecosystem. As a result, the park has implemented measures to reduce the environmental impact of visitors, such as limiting the number of visitors to certain areas and promoting sustainable tourism practices.
Overall, Banff National Park is a stunning natural wonder with a rich history and culture. It provides visitors with the opportunity to experience the beauty of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and to learn about the area's ecology and Indigenous heritage.

Been to Banff region for 10 weeks over 3 trips. This video is really good. Some additional thoughts / tips: Renting a car is almost a must do. ROAM is great for what it is but is way too limiting and their timetables leave a lot to be desired. If you really insist on only using public transit be aware that none of the surrounding parks (Yoho, Jasper, Kootenay) have any public transit and ROAM covers Canmore, Banff and Lake Louise. It also doesn't go to many places between those spots so you're out of luck even then. 01:46 Free parking locations in Banff. Banff Train Station - Lots of free parking and there will be signage directing you there as you enter Banff. It's the furthest away from downtown but still pretty reasonable. Bear Street Parking Garage- Anything above the first floor is free and there is a moderate amount of stalls, if you try to go say during lunch time expect to wait for a stall. Bow Avenue between Wolf and Buffalo is free but there are a very limited amount of spaces. 02:16 Canmore also has a visitor center. You can pick up your park pass from there as it's just before the Banff Park entrance and avoid the lineup that backs up during peak times. It's also a lot less busy than the one in Banff so you can ask questions much faster. 02:48 I've never stayed at the mentioned places but I have stayed at the Peaks hotel, it's fairly reasonable and right in the middle of town just one street over basically. Canmore is a very good alternative but if you're coming to Banff for a once in a lifetime trip- try to stay at least a day or two in Banff itself. 04:18 The only "fancy" place I've eaten that I love to go to while in the area is Rustica above Canmore in the Silvertip area. I also like Helna's Stube but that's all the way in Radium...but if you're making a trip there. A big thumbs up for the mentioned Wildflower...their baked are awesome as well. 05:20 So glad to see Vermillion lakes given a mention. Surprise corner has very little parking so be prepared for that or that will be your major surprise! Other things- Cascade Ponds, Banff Pedestrian Bridge, Banff sign and maybe the green spot up Mount Norquay. 08:00 Lake Louise now is paid parking from mid May to Mid October. The overflow and shuttle is an option if it's full. 08:58 Moraine lake- Just so you know shuttles only start from around 0800 so there will be no more sunrise photo shoots unless you're willing to hike/bike or stay at the lodge. You CAN take your private vehicle but you'll need to have a disability placard to do so. Honestly I think it's a good idea as it was crazy to find parking here and it's better than circling around and around just to get on the road to the parking lot. 09:35 going north from Lake Louis I would suggest you stop at Herbert Lake, it's a great little stop and has a restroom. Bow lake is far more impressive but it doesn't have a restroom...at least that I am aware of. 12:17 Kananaskis Country requires a Kananaskis Conservation Pass which can only be purchased online. Yoho- If you're going ensure you stop at Takakkaw Falls as well. The visitor center located in Field is also a nice break to stretch the legs. When to go- First timer? Then do NOT go anytime before June. The reason is that many of the big name attractions have a high potential to be closed. The hike to Agnes Teahouse, Moraine Lake, Takakkaw Falls and many others simply will not be open to you or will be icy and require buying/renting micro spikes or snowshoes- Johnston Canyon, Peyto Lake, etc. Yes, it gets crowded in summer, it gets expensive in summer but there's a reason for it. If it's just too expensive then I'd try for a Fall visit, it's less crowded / cheaper and still has everything open. Thanks for such a great video and hopefully someone finds the above useful.

I’m a Canadian RN who’s been living & working in the US for 27 years. I’ve been thinking about relocating home to Canada to work as a nurse there. You just single handedly convinced me to move to this region. I just hope they need a veteran ER nurse somewhere up there!
