I bought this Blu-ray Disc way back in 2010 to plan my trip.
Alas I never went, but the disc is amazingly beautiful.

Looks like Lake Louise is a do not miss!

Banff is beautiful, plan on spending a few days there, Lots of hiking and trails to visit, you can also take a hike up Mount Rundle..Next I would go to Lake Louise and visit Moraine lake, it is smaller than Lake Louise but it is the most photographed lake in the world, just beautiful to look at and the water is aqua blue as the lake is naturally glacier fed. (It is also pictured on the back of a Canadian $20 bill)..Have a great trip, beautiful area in Canada to visit..

THANK YOU, ALL!

We got started with our planning a bit late and are having a bit of a challenge with lodging, but we are flexible and are willing to move every day or 2 if we have too! That may make it easier to see more things/places/sights/eats, tho!!!

Didn't realize it was Canada's Sesquicentennial (Happy Brithday!) and that admission to ALL National Parks was FREE because of it!

Can't wait!

...who offered an opinion or PM! We just got back from a 10-day visit to Banff & Jasper in the Canadian Rockies...

...in a word - STUNNING!

Too much to see, too little time...

And the hospitality and GENUINE WELCOME that we received from our Neighbors to the North was remarkable!

I offer a view from our porch at the Emerald Lake Lodge of Emerald Lake near Field, BC.

...and yes, the water really is THAT color!

Glad to hear you had a great time!

I have to get out that way sometime myself. My last trip out anywhere near there was the Calgary Stampede when I was just a young lad.

I have also never been to the east coast but would also love to do that someday as well.
