  1. We have very much appreciated your blog and have gained much knowledge from it. We are planning our once in a life time trip to Banff and Jasper next week (August 29 – September 5), staying in Canmore. We are wondering what your thoughts are concerning the wildfire haze? Would we be wise to postpone our trip to next summer, or do you feel we would still be able to experience the beauty of the area?

    1. Hi Dave,

      Wildfire haze can change day by day, and even hour by hour, so it’s near impossible to know what will happen next week. It’s best to check forecasts on the FireSmoke.ca website at https://firesmoke.ca/forecasts/current/. It’s only really semi accurate up to 24 hours in advance. Other than that you can look at all the webcams around the park to see what the air looks like. The best ones are the Lake Louise ski resort webcam, downtown Canmore webcam, Town of Banff webcam, and Emerald Lake webcam.

  2. Oh, my goodness! Our granddaughter married a Canadian who grew-up in Canmore where they live outside of town. She was stuck there during Covid 19 and the rest is history. They have their own camping, biking, trails, etc. We visited our baby Great Granddaughter last Labor Day weekend and only had time to get halfway to Banff to at least see the mountains in the distance and hike to a nice waterfall. At our age, planning ahead is a challenge, but we hope to visit again this fall. Jasper was closed due to the forest fires which sounded absolutely awful! ‘Course Los Angeles has beat them when it comes to awful.!! Deanna
