Just trying to get some advice about an upcoming trip to Banff, Canada.

Has anyone ever been there before on vacation? Where do you recommend staying? We are hoping to stay in a chalet or condo. Any specific places you suggest?

What about site seeing? Where do you suggest going?

What can I do next?

Yes...I've been to Banff! We traveled to Seattle, Vancouver, Harrison Hot Springs and Banff on our honeymoon in 1999. Banff was the one place we didn't have advance reservations. We stayed at a local travel lodge/chalet type of place. It was average BUT Banff itself was spectacular. So beautiful!

On our way to Banff, we stayed a few nights in Harrison Hot Springs Hotel. That was a great place. So nice! I'd highly recommend it.

Johnston Canyon Resort a bit north of Banff-cute cabins and and excellent restaurant, though some tour buses come.

Or try north of Lake Louise--the scenery got even more spectacular up there. The big hotel on Lake Louise is very crowded with tour buses.

Have a great time.

Are you going for ski season or in summer? The hiking was wonderful.

When I was a travel agent I sent a lot of clients to Chateau Lake Louise. I have never been but it looks wonderful and my clients loved it. Have fun! I would love to go one day.
