The Banff Blog

Welcome to The Banff Blog

We’re Cameron & Natasha

We’re fortunate to call Canmore home and share our expertise with our readers. The site features our experiences, combined with our photography, to craft informative guides for travel around the Canadian Rockies. We extend a bit past them, too, covering large parts of British Columbia and Alberta.

We spent years without a home base as we ran our world travel blog, The World Pursuit, we worked across six continents and 80 countries. It took us…

  • Over 600 blog posts
  • Thousands of nights in different beds
  • More than our fair share of lumpy pillows
  • Living in a tent in Africa
  • A few horrible meals and tons of amazing ones

…until we set up a base in the Canadian Rockies. Since that day, we’ve been exploring everything the Canadian Rockies offer.

We’ve spent thousands of hours crafting The Banff Blog to help make planning a trip to the Rockies easy! Everything on this site we have personally researched and spent years of our lives exploring and exploring. It is the best job in the world!

All the information we share is FREE!

If you’d like to support our work, we’ve always accepted coffees, or you can shop our recommendations to support our site directly!

Discover Helpful Info & Advice

On this website, you’ll find helpful travel tips, hotel reviews, restaurant suggestions, itineraries, and trail reports for the Canadian Rockies and surrounding areas. We strive to provide up-to-date information and helpful guides.

Unless otherwise noted, every blog post on this website is written by us or a few of our local writers and comes from our personal experiences. We hope you can make the most of your time in one of the most magnificent parts of the world. 

We haven’t explored every nook and cranny of the Rockies yet! However, we’ll do our best to bring you the best information, even if it takes us a lifetime to explore the region.

This website is the result of hundreds of thousands of photos taken, thousands of kilometers trekked, dozens of mountains summited, plenty of busted hiking shoes, and only a few days of freezing our butts with mild frostbite, so we hope you enjoy!

The blonde in all these photos? It’s me! I love yoga pants, movies, snowboarding, animals, hiking, traveling to far-off places…and sushi – okay, I love many things. Now that we are a little better acquainted, let me tell you where this whole travel thing started. I grew up in the center of the Mitten State. If you don’t know what I am talking about, just take your left hand and put it in front of your face. That is Michigan.

I went on many family vacations as a child but never truly left the country. Wanderlust started when I studied abroad in Australia, and after I graduated college, I met Cameron, and we traveled around the world. Now to 90 countries and counting! When we got tired of constantly living out of a suitcase, we settled in the most beautiful (and possibly the coldest) place we had been – the Canadian Rockies!

Hello, I’m Cameron, and I make up one-half of this blog.  I’m a big music fan, and I don’t discriminate. I could write a list of my favorite artists, but it would likely get out of hand! I love to cook, and Natasha does the dishes, so I’m always trying out new recipes — not sure who gets the better deal. 

I take most of the photos around here while Natasha crushes it with helpful videos on Instagram. My passions currently bounce between mountaineering, snowboarding, and mountain biking. But quite honestly, every year brings some new endeavor I want to try out!
