I spent a week around Banff in late March 2022, basing in the town of Banff itself.
I spent a day out around Johnston Canyon, Castle Mountain, Two Jack Lake, and a few stops along the way.
And spent a night at Lake Louise, with some time on the lake and up at the ski resort.
On my last day, I took the Banff Gondola up for 360-degree views over Banff and the surrounding mountains.
