    Good for you all going! I lived in Edmonton for 38 years, and had wonderful travelling. But I was born in Montreal, lived in Toronto and grew up in Peterborough. So-I’m now a widow, and decided to some back in Peterborough. There’s nothing better than home.

    I’ve been twice, back before there was social media. Both trips there weren’t that many tourists. Or, at least, so many that I would have noticed. I want to go back so, so bad! I’d recommend going on the Sulphur Mtn Gondola ride. Spectacular views from the top!

    Melissa is a brave woman. I don't know if I could have made the trek on the walkway. Alex, when you showed the sides of that walk I swooned. And I am in my recliner. 😵‍💫 The scenery is so beautiful. I loved the river. Thank you for taking us along on your family outing. It is a pleasure watching the children. 😊😊😊

    I love Banff and Lake Louise. I haven't been there for about 53 years but I really want to go back. We took a horse ride into the mountains and the view of the mountains and the lake far below is something I've never forgotten. What a wonderful time you and your family must have had.

    Banff, Alberta is easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. I lived in Montana near Glacier Park for many years and we went to Banff on several occasions. The "Swiss Mountain Chalets", Dahl sheep, waterfall and scenery are all so amazing.

    Gday Alexander. Thank you for sharing your family outing with us. It is over 40 years since I did a tour of the US and Canada and Banff was one of the places we visited. In fact we stayed at the Banff Springs Hotel which was a real treat. We were there in March so it was very cold with snow and ice around. The trail you went on to see the waterfall was so pretty. I am like Melissa - not very good with heights - so she was very brave. Until next time, take care. With best wishes from Down Under 😘💕🇦🇺.

    Thanks for bringing us along! Been 50 yrs since flying from Detroit to Calgary on family Christmas holiday ski trip. Flew in at night, dad rented car and drove us to Banff Springs Hotel. Saw mountains for 1st time in my life when we opened the curtains in the morning! And I have memory of the hike to beautiful waterfall of blue ice at Johnson Canyon. I'd love to go back and see it in the summer!

    I have friends in Graham, Alberta. They own a cutting horse breeding and training farm there. The Hansema family from the Netherlands. I have never been there, life always got in the way. That is why I love seeing your family go on outings together now that you have some free time. You have your priorities straight!

    Just found this! The family and I went to see Canadian friends in Three Hills, Alberta in 2000. This brought it all back. We based at their house (that their granddad and family had built themselves some decades before). We toured round - went to Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise . . . visited a glacier somewhere in that area too I recall.
    Canada is so beautiful and the people are so friendly. It was one of our best family holidays!

Good on you, glad you got to go out and have some end of summer fun together! For some reason I've always been fascinated by fossils and bones... loved all the cool stuff at that shop. What a beautiful country you get to live in. Always wanted to visit Canada.

    Bay Area resident here. We were lucky enough to visit Banff and it is absolutely beautiful! It is so much busier that it was when we went (in the 2000's). At the time we hiked up to a teahouse near Lake Louise which was fun, and we took a horse back ride up into the higher lakes. The water is glacier fed and absolutely stunning. Highly recommend.
