Banff Travel Tips & Reviews
Apr 6, 2016
Banff is an incredibly stunning destination. As someone who doesn't fair well in the cold, I was a little bit worried to be visiting during the winter, but the breath-taking views made up for the freezing cold. There's no shortage of beauty in this city and there's no shortage of things to do! I went snowboarding for the first time in Banff and they also have a variety of other winter sports such as snowshoeing, dog sledding, and guided tours of frozen waterfalls.
