Creator's Key Takeaways

We highly recommend doing this with a group of friends not only because you'll be able to help yourself save some money but you can also hike in groups because you will be in bear territory

The food scene in Banff was fantastic we did not have a single bad dinner

Ice Fields Parkway is one of the most beautiful drives in the entire world

It is way more expensive to go during Sunrise it was $100 Canadian to get that Marine Lake shuttle bus for rise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Visit in late September to early October for fall colors and fewer crowds
Split costs with a group of friends to save money on accommodations and gas
Book shuttle permits for Marine Lake well in advance or use private companies for sunrise access
Bring layers, waterproof shoes, and bear spray for hiking in bear territory
