Am I doing this right - Banff + Jasper 6/7 days
Alright guys, I’ve spent the past few weeks putting this itinerary together and I think it’s very nearly there.
Myself and my partner are heading to Banff in the month of July. We are both super excited. Can you let me know if there are any activities I’m missing from my itinerary. Any help would be greatly appreciated:
Day 1: Arrive in late to YYC. Collect rental car and drive to Hotel.
Day 2: Head to Canmore, stop in Kananaskis on the way. Check-in to hotel. Afternoon / Evening hike around Canmore.
Day 3: Take early bus tour to Lake Louise / Moraine lake. Hike around and take it all in. Return to hotel for a siesta before heading into Banff that evening.
Day 4: Drive Icefields PKWY. Leaving this open to stop at various sites along the way and to take in the wonders of the Rockies. Arrive at Sunwapta and check-in to hotel. Open to exploring area in the evening
Day 5: Whitewater rafting activity booked for morning. Evening trip to Jasper.
Day 6: Free morning, open to suggestions. Afternoon, drive back down Icefields PKWY. Stay in Canmore.
Day 7: Chill morning around Canmore. Open to suggestions. Banff Gondola in the afternoon. Dinner in Banff that evening.
Day 8: Drive back to Calgary early. Return rental car. Spend day exploring the city. Any recommendations here would be greatly appreciated.
Day 9: Breakfast followed by stroll around Calgary. Head to Airport before a flight home.
Anyway, that’s everything. Thank you if you’ve stuck it through. If you had any suggestions or recommendations you could share with me they would be very much appreciated.
TIA
