This Ultimate Banff/Jasper/Yoho Guide is from hours and hours of research from my first visit back in the fall of 2021. We learned a lot and I tweaked some things on this itinerary versus our original one. The best part is I am going back this September again so I should have a lot more to add after that trip! This guide is best for the summer and fall months in the Banff area. We camped almost our whole first trip, but this guide has options for camping and hotels. Let me know if you have any questions about this guide, my trip, or anything else at my Instagram @adventurewithanna_
