Banff Gondola

Banff blew me away with its epic landscapes and once-in-a-lifetime moments 🌲🏔️ From soaring up Sulphur Mountain on the Banff Gondola to soaking in the views at Bow Falls, this trip is all about jaw-dropping nature and unforgettable sights! Top Spots to Visit: 🚡 Banff Gondola Address: 100 Mountain Ave, Banff, AB T1L 1B2, Canada Opening Hours: Changes seasonally, but from Jun 21-Sep 1 it's open 8:00 AM-10:00 PM (admission ends at 8:30 PM) Tip: Early morning rides have less crowd and super clear views! Don’t forget to bring a jacket—wind up top can be chilly even in summer. 🌊 Bow Falls Viewpoint Address: Bow Falls Ave, Banff, AB T0L 0C0, Canada Open: 24/7, all year Insight: Short walk from Banff town, and the roaring water is super photogenic—perfect spot for a picnic or just to chill! Personal tips: The gondola ride is genuinely unforgettable. Snap a ton of photos at the summit! Banff’s lakes (don’t miss Yoho nearby!) are legendary—make time to do a little exploring and get those bucket-list moments. Getting Around: Banff has great shuttle buses (especially free ones from major hotels to downtown), or rent a bike for flexibility. Parking near popular spots is tough—go early or use transit! Food: Try local bison burgers at a Banff town eatery (The Maple Leaf is a solid pick) and treat yourself to a mountain-themed dessert—think maple fudge or local ice cream! Key Tips: Banff is in a national park, so grab your Parks Canada pass online before arrival. Weather flips fast—layers are your friend. Most places accept cards (CAD), but pocket cash for little shops. #BanffViews #RockyMountainMagic #EpicNature #CanadaTravel
