The Banff Blog
Hey, we’re Cameron and Natasha and have been writing about travel for the last decade. In 2018, we decided to settle down in one of the most beautiful places on earth, The Canadian Rockies. Now we spend as much time as possible exploring the mountains that surround us.
We think this is one of the most spectacular areas and the perfect place for an outdoor vacation. Our aim is to help you get the most out of your trip to Banff National Park and the surrounding areas.
