12. Is this all natural?
13. While working at the (Banff) Gondola on a rainy day I was asked to turn the fog off at the top so they could see.”
14. While working at the Gondola, I got asked when we release the animals so they can start feeding them. I had to remind them that this wasn’t a petting zoo, the animals are wild and come out when they please — and please don’t feed them.”
15. Where’s that place where I can see the bear in the cage? Can I get a photo with him?

It’s like the European questions on American travel forums.
What’s the best way to take a day trip from Las Vegas to Yellowstone?
How much would it cost to rent a motor scooter for a trip from Chicago to New York?
Is the water in Las Vegas safe to drink?
My favorite question asked by Hearst Castle visitors:
"What time is the noon tour?"
One man even followed up when told the noon tour was at 12, asking, "Is that in southern California time?"
LOL!
Wasn’t Lucky Pierre Agarniere, the Burglar of Banff-ff??
(obscure F Troop reference)
How old are crows when they grow into ravens?
I’ve been there, nice trip and a great place to visit. Just FYI.........relationship failed... but the memories are great.
Banff is spectacular. I’ve been there twice, and it was awesome.
We have heard some of these in Lake Tahoe.
Too funny
Too Stupid
Went to Jasper National Park this summer and it was tops! Once we drove from Glacier National Park in Montana up to Calgary and over to Banff and on to Lake Louise. I told my husband on the road leading from Calgary to Banff and on I felt like I was overdosing on beauty. The Canadian Rockies are ten times more spectacular than the Colorados.
I agree.
“4. Do we need snow tires or chains to drive to Lake Louise in July?”
Well, I don’t know about chains, but I’ve been in the mountains of Colorado in July when it was sure nice to have snow tires! What elevation is Lake Louise?
I used to work on the Tahoe Queen.
One tourist asked me if the glass bottom was on the 2nd deck, or downstairs on the first.
Another one asked me if it was real snow up on Mt. Tallac, and I told her it was concrete the Parks Department painted white, and she believed me.
Another one asked me if the boat “went all the way to Reno”.
When I worked in a clothing store in Waikiki, newly arrived tourists from the mainland USA would sometimes ask me if we accepted US dollars.
This can't end well...
I was going to chime in my stories of dumb people but, yours are enough.
“I didn’t know snow was so wet!”.
