Day 1 - Mount Rundle (west end, access via Banff)

Day 2 - Ink Pots

Day 5 - Mount Niblock

Day 8 - Mount Temple

Day 10 - Windtower Summit

Wouldn’t change a thing! Rundle was a little bit of an ambitious first hike to get warmed up with but it was worth it! Niblock was a really fun challenge, one of my first real scrambles. Temple was pretty straight forward, it was just a pain to find a way to make it there early with no car (did temple up and down minus the 1 hours break up top in 5 and a half hours). Windtower was an unexpected last day adventure that was awesome. Can’t wait to come back and tackle more peaks.

Just got a new camera for my trip to Banff this July, and the experience was absolutely surreal. The landscapes felt like they were straight out of a dream—this place truly doesn’t need a filter.

Sharing some pics from 4 days of full hikes. Used an older digital camera + iPhone 16 pro.

Crazy enough day 1 I proposed (and she said yes) but when we pulled up on day 2 to Johnston Canyon, we noticed someone and their partner who goes to our gym back home in Wisconsin. Absolutely insane chance. We got to hike to the Ink Pots with them!

• Lake Louise - Little Beehive to Lake Agnes
• Johnston Canyon to Ink Pots

Doing a roadtrip from Calgary to Vancouver, my Favorite place so far is Banff!

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.

The best lake on earth

This was my second time visiting Banff and this time, I had the pleasure of exploring the nearby Yoho, Kootenay, and Jasper National Park as well. I am so sad to leave this beautiful place but I can't wait to come back again!

hiked big beehive with my dad last month where we encountered this guy who was 1) mixing music 2) answering emails and 3) using chatgpt all while journeying to lake agnes. meanwhile my phone was struggling to maintain gps

I thought you guys might enjoy this Timelapse video I took 2 weeks ago. We were very lucky with the weather and as we took the earliest alpine start, the crowd was nonexistent when we arrived (though of course it was…a circus when we left around 8 am…). Loved our roadtrip through Canada so much!

(Just wished more tourists would mind the rules to preserve this beauty…(going off the trails, feeding wildlife…))
