Budget Travel to Banff National Park

One of the biggest attractions in the entire province of Alberta is Banff National Park, the oldest national park in Canada. It covers more than 2500 square miles, and is home to the beautiful Lake Louise (not to mention several other lakes), stunning mountains, and many glaciers as well.

It’s an excellent spot for a holiday, except for one thing – Banff isn’t cheap. This is why it’s important to do your research when planning a trip, so you know where you can save money on your Banff vacation. Here are some tips to help you do Banff on a budget.

Beautiful Banff Vacation Packages

The small Canadian resort town located about 70 miles from Calgary, Alberta is situated amongst some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. The amazing Canadian Rockies tower high in the sky. The lush green forests extend for as far as the eye can see. The deep blue glacier fed lakes are like a mirror. The bustling streams fill the otherwise silent air with a melodic sound.

Banff is a place for those who love and appreciate the beauty of Mother Nature. It is within easy driving distance of Lake Louise, a body of water that has been captured by many a tourist’s camera. For my money, however, Moraine Lake is even more beautiful. It is right near Lake Louise but does not receive nearly the number of visitors. You can easily check both out in a single swoop.

If you do visit Banff, and really you must, a trip along the Icefield Parkways is required. Your jaw will hurt because it will drop with every twist and turn of the road. A pretty ride in this world you will not find.
