Things to Do in Canada 172
Good morning!
Did you know? Banff is Canada’s oldest—and most visited— national park. Set in the pristine beauty of the Rocky Mountains with stunning hikes, beautiful lakes, glaciers, and more, it attracts more than four million visitors each year.
Based in Calgary, we’ve been to Banff more than any other destination in the country. It has certainly become more busy in recent years, but we can totally understand why so many people want to visit.
If you’re one of those people, we’ve got some ideas for you with our guides to the best tours, attractions, and restaurants in Banff. Plus, we’ve got a new video about the best Mexican restaurants in Calgary, so make sure you spend some time in Calgary when you come this way.
But without further ado, enjoy the 172nd edition of the Weekly Goose.
