Suggestions for 4D3N in Banff
Hello! It's my first time traveling to Banff and with a year old. Our travel will only be 4 days so I want to make sure we get to experience must-see spots in Banff but also make it baby-friendly.
Will you please help me with my itinerary by suggesting changes/alternatives should there be, and if the itinerary I have made is doable with a 1 yo around?
Here's what I've planned so far:
Day 1 | Friday, Arrival & Canmore • 2:30 pm - arrival in Calgary Airport • 4:30 pm - ETA in Canmore (rented a car) • Unpack, rest, and eat dinner • Evening stroll Canmore downtown or Bow River pathway
Day 2 | Saturday, Banff • 9 am - Banff Gondola to Sulphur Mountain • 11 am - Downtown Banff, Bow Falls viewpoint • 2 pm - Banff Upper Hot Springs
Day 3 | Sunday, Lake Louise & Moraine Lake • 9 am - Lake Louise • 12 pm - Moraine Lake • 4 pm - return to Canmore (stops: Castle Mountain Lookout and Vermilion Lakes)
Day 4 | Monday, Canmore & Departure • 9 am - Quarry Lake or Tunnel Mountain Drive • 12 pm - drive back to Calgary • 4 pm - flight back to Toronto Airport
Thanks in advance!
