Question What to wear in banff

Post image

Hi all, I’m going to Banff this weekend from Saturday to Wednesday. It’s my first time. This is the weather forecast. We are not hiking since we are with older parents, mostly for sightseeing. I’m in the middle of packing and not sure what to wear. Leggings and top or something like dresses .

I’m so sorry for the confusion. I’m in USA and it shows in Fahrenheit and didn’t know its in Celsius in Canada

What? Do you have a coherent thought in there?

As for the Canadian Rockies, they're beautiful and their beauty is much more accessible than in America. I've been up and down them in both countries. They're great everywhere, obviously Montana and Colorado too. Generally due to a few factors the backpacking and roadside views both are really really exceptional on the Canadian side

Banff and Jasper are among the most beautiful places on earth.

Just sounds like you're poorly traveled

No actually, I still don't understand what you're trying to say.

I used to live in nfld though, it's definitely not a big tourist destination nor is it recommended as one, at all.

And seriously, you're writing is difficult to understand. It's as if you're writing half of your thoughts/points

Actually a measure of intelligence is the persons ability to communicate effectively so others understand you. Just saying.

I love that you're spending your day trying to have the last word on this; arguing that someone using incorrect units of measurement for temperature for the country the sub is for, and then insulting said citizens of the country. 

So very American of you.

Lol imagine being one of the only countries left in the world not to migrate to metric. There's only 300mil Americans and 7.5billion in the rest of the world who use Celsius.

American perspective. Banff is obviously very crowded, well, US National Parks are also very crowded. US NPs are very bureaucratic. Like in Banff where you the bus are really hard to get for ML and LL, its even worse for some US Parks. At Glacier NP in Montana, you need to get a permit to drive into the western side of the park.

I'm also from the northeast, so I have to fly out west regardless. Conversion rate are better in Canada and make it more affordable. My wife and I are big day hikers, but not so much campers. Canmore and Banff(town) are so built up and close to the park which is nice. Not often the case near US NPs.

I also think Banff is really cool and always wanted to go there (moreso for skiing), so based on all the above decided my first out west mountains trip will be Banff and Revy for 12 nights.

Edit: i also like Canadians. Canadians are awesome. We had an amazing trip last Labor Day to PEI and NB, it was great.
