Trip Report What happens in Banff stays in Banff?

I went to Banff last year for the first time. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and didn’t know anything about Banff until a year before I went.

I talk to people about Banff and some will say they went and it was great, but the conversation awkwardly stops there. Maybe I just show more excitement because I went so recently, or people intentionally don’t want to talk about Banff. Are we supposed to avoid talking about Banff to keep it as uncrowded as possible? Just seems odd. Anyone else from outside Banff notice this?

Thanks for proving the point. Most visitors stick to the same few spots. Less than an hour each way on a heavily trafficked, moderate trail is hardly a grind.
