I just wanted to send an email of appreciation for the amazing Banff Blog. We returned from Canada to the UK yesterday after 2 weeks and could not have planned it without your Blog. It was full of helpful tips & information that enabled us to make the most of a dream trip. —Andrea & Chris
Just wanted to send a heartfelt thanks to both of you, we discovered your blog last year before we arrived in Alberta last May. We visited last year and just returned home from our visit this year. Your blog has been almost a bible for us, from hike recommendations to sight seeing to restaurants. We have been through the Icelands Parkway, stayed in Canmore, Banff, Jasper, Whistler. Went to multiple Oilers games as well! We absolutely love everything about Canada and are already planning a return trip again in June 2025. I know for a fact we would have been mostly clueless and drifting around without your advice, amazing depth and detail to everything you do! —Rob
Thank you very much for taking the time to assist us with our itinerary! You’ve given us several trails to consider and this will be very helpful. We’ll look up the trails on your site! We can’t thank you enough! —Jim
Hi guys Just want to say that you have a great blog which is very informative and useful whist enjoying the Rockies. I used it for a lot of planning and found a couple of gems as well that I might not otherwise. 😃 —Mike
My husband and I are currently in Banff National Park for our third summer in a row. We’re been using your blog every year as a source for fantastic hikes and recommendations. We’ve had the opportunity to venture out further to hike not only in the Banff area, but along the Icefields Parkway, Yoho, and Kanaskis areas as well. We’ve also made multiple trips to Eclipse coffee! (The Finca coffee blend and matcha and chai lattes are favorites!) Thank you for being so thorough and detailed in your post and for sharing this beautiful area with us! —Meredith & Brett
Thanks for all the heart that you put in this project. The rocky Mountains are my dream place since I was a kid. And you made everything so easy to plan the trip. One more day and I will be living the dream 🙂 Thanks! —Fabas
Thank you for all of the great tips! We had a wonderful visit to Canmore & Banff over spring break, your blog was an invaluable help ❤ —Dena
Your blog provides excellent information, is very thorough, covers all seasons, has great photos, and is fun to read. You’ve been so helpful as we discover and explore the area we love to visit (and which we hope we can call home once we retire) – many thanks! —Lilly
