Ever wondered if you can bike from Canmore all the way to Banff? Let’s ride the Legacy Trail together! 🚲✨ The Legacy Trail is about 26 km one way, mostly fully paved, and runs right along the highway with constant mountain views Tip: Start early to avoid wind and traffic noise and to get a FREE parking spot at the Canmore Visitor Centre. Once you reach Banff, reward yourself with a coffee, lunch, or ice cream before heading back! #legacytrail #banffnationalpark #banff #canmore #bike #biking #mountains #banffcanada #bikeride #yyc #calgary

The famous Banff entrance sign is getting a short break! 🚫🪧 With the G7 Summit happening in Kananaskis, the Town of Banff is temporarily removing the iconic sign to help reduce illegal parking and traffic jams along Norquay Road. This spot is usually packed with visitors stopping for photos, which can cause congestion and safety issues, so they’re taking it down just for the week. Don’t worry though, the $350,000 sign will be back up once the summit wraps up. #banff #g7 #g7summit #g7summit2025 #banff #townofbanff #banffnationalpark #banffcanada #kananaskis
Save this video if you are coming to Lake Louise! 📸🏔️ Don’t make the rookie mistake of taking your photos at the first viewpoint you see. Instead. Cross the bridge and go in front of the hotel. Further right you go on the shoreline, the less crowded it will be. Better for your photos! #lakelouise #lake #lakelouisecanada #banff #banffnationalpark #banffcanada #banffalberta #banffphotography #lakes #traveltips #travelinfluencer

Headed to the Calgary Stampede Parade? Here’s what you need to know 🤠👇 🎊 This is North America’s second-largest parade and it kicks off The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth in true western style. 🎉 Parade kicks off at 9am… but don’t show up then! Arrive around 6:30–7am to snag a good spot, especially if you’re aiming for views near the Calgary Tower. 📍 Parade route runs along 9 Ave, up 10th Street, and then back along 6 Ave. 🪑 Bring snacks, water, and a lawn chair. 🚫 Skip the stress of downtown parking. Take transit in and enjoy the ride! ⭐️ This year’s Parade Marshal is Shania Twain, joining the ranks of past icons like William Shatner, Walt Disney, and Kevin Costner. #CalgaryStampede #Calgary #yyc #alberta #parade #CalgaryEvents #cowboy #cowgirl #calgarytower #shaniatwain
Visiting Kananaskis mid-June? Here’s information you NEED to know! Due to the G7 summit, we recommend Avoiding the Controlled Access Zone in K-Country and keep plans flexible. To ensure the safety and security of all participants and the community, thr controlled access zone (CAZ) will be established around key Summit venues from June 10 to June 18, 2025. Officials expect heavier-than-usual congestion but say it’ll still be a great time to visit, if you plan ahead. #kananaskis #g7 #g7summit #worldleaders #canada #canmore #alberta #kcountry #yyc #calgary

3 of the BEST spots to kick back and relax at the Calgary Stampede (from a seasoned Stampedin’ gal 😌🤠): 1️⃣ Big Four Building - It’s got AC, food, drinks and a mechanical bull. Enough said. 2️⃣ The Saddledome Stairs Right out front. It’s oddly peaceful and great for people watching. 3️⃣ The West Red Skyride Literally the best way to rest your feet while floating above the chaos. #calgarystampede #stampede #calgary #yyc #alberta #countrymusic #countrybar
