OVERVIEW
After wanting to go to Banff for years, I roadtripped there in summer 2023 with my friends Claudia and Tyler. We camped along beautiful lakes and rivers and hiked stunning trails almost every day. On days that we took a break from hiking we drove the famous Icefields Parkway and canoed on a lake in a mountain valley. Banff absolutely lived up to the hype.
