Yea, I meant Banff National Park, not the town. Same experience. Like Aspen. We always stayed up by Lake Louise or Jasper. We have hiked at Glacier twice and have come across grizzly bears three times. They seem to ignore you as long as you stay back 50 yards or so. I never carry bear spray. I figure if God wanted me to be mauled by a bear to end my life here, then so be it.
We splurged and stayed at the Fairmont Resort in Jasper. Now that was a NICE place! It’s our new favorite place to stay — secluded, private, spacious and pristine. It drains your bank account quickly, though. But we are at the point where either we use it now or the kids get it...guess who won?
