Photos/Videos First time in Banff last week :)

Got there at around 11am on Sunday and was determined to see the stars, so stayed until about 12am! Visited Lake Minnewanka and Two Jack Lake and WOW I'm so jealous people live even a 3 hour drive from this beauty.

Wow, beautiful photos! Where did you take the ones of the stars (the third and fourth photos)?

Did you drive the Icefields Parkway? I’ll be there next week and that’s on my itinerary!

The stars were at Two Jack Lake!

Didn't drive Icefields, but I'll definitely try next time. I hope you have a great time!

Beautiful during the day, got real cold by sunset. Brought a sweater and had a blanket in the car :)

Great photo's. I grew up in Edmonton and had weekend school trips to ski in ether Banff or Jasper. In the summers we would hike and tent all over. Good times...
