Have you ever dreamed of a place so beautiful, it doesn’t seem real?
You know the kind of destination where people see your photos and immediately say, “That has to be Photoshopped!” but it’s not. In fact, we just returned from one of those unbelievable places: The Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Why the Canadian Rockies Should Be on Your Bucket List
Just a short flight away and more affordable than many overseas destinations, this region is a melting pot of cultures, natural wonders, and the kindest, most welcoming people you’ll ever meet!
We flew into Calgary and made our home base in Canmore, Alberta – a charming town just 16 miles from the more well-known (and tourist-heavy) Banff.
Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, Canmore gave us easy access to all the breathtaking views without the crowds or high prices.
From here, we explored the dreamlike landscapes of Banff National Park:
- Turquoise lakes tucked beneath towering peaks
- Glaciers and cascading waterfalls
- And yes, even the Northern Lights danced for us one night!
When to Visit for the Best Experience
We arrived on May 31st, which was perfect timing as many seasonal sites and lakes open on June 1st of each year. So if you’re planning to visit and want to see it all, summer is the ideal time – unless you’re chasing powder on the slopes.
