At the start of the day they sit with each group and help to cater the day to what you want to see. There is plenty of time for short-ish hikes and taking pi...

Scenic spot
👍👍 Gorgeous lookout area where you can see the Town of Banff. So peaceful here. You can drive right up to this lookout or take your bike up the mountain. There is a small trail you can walk. The hill is quite steep so be careful walking. You can bring a blanket and sit for a bit! There is a garbage bin...

Spikes are recommended, but maybe not a necessity. There are several view points along the way, but it is mostly a walk t...
