I WANT TO GO!Why Banff?
Banff National Park is renowned for its jaw-dropping landscapes, wildlife, and world class outdoor recreation. While Banff is a very popular tourist destination, the peak months are between June-August, hence why we are choosing to visit during the latter half of September when it's less busy. It also just happens to be peak Fall where the larch trees turn a beautiful golden yellow. In addition to doing some epic hikes, we will also experience a via ferrata, canoeing, relaxing in some hot springs, biking, and more.
Are you ready to come play in one of my breathtaking places in the world?

Lodging & Transportation
All accommodations and transportation in Canada are provided for you including airport arrival and departure from Calgary. We will be staying in Canmore (just outside Banff) at White Spruce Lodge. I have rented a few condos that have kitchens, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and a gathering room. All accommodations are double occupancy meaning you will most likely share a room or bed (king or queen) with a roommate. Don't worry, it's not awkward, I promise! ;)
Transportation will be provided in vans with plenty of room for luggage. In addition, all meals will be included (breakfast, lunch, dinner). Some meals we will prepare for you, but most meals we will eat at restaurants.
