Kudos on the upgrade to the hospitality suite, but not sure how you managed it?
Slightly bizarrely, the max occupancy for that suite (and the executive suite!) is 2!
P.S. You will need to pay $15 per day and register your car’s license plate online if you are going to park in Kananaskis.
Thanks for the update! Seems like this was recently implemented. For anyone wanting more information on the Kanaanskis pass (you can purchase online), here’s the website: https://www.alberta.ca/kananaskis-conservation-pass.aspx
+1 re: MK’s comment about Parker’s Ridge that will allow you to see Saskatchewan glacier (not visible from the hightway). Wilcox Pass will also give you a nice view of the Athabasca Glacier (visible from the highway).
As well, this year, Parks Canada has implemented paid parking at Lake Louise. There is also a paid shuttle to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. You can reserve a spot on the shuttle via Parks Canada website.
Lastly, Johnson Canyon is not accessible by private car (again) this year although the highway is now a lovely place to bike. You can reach Johnson Canyon by public bus (called ROAM) from Banff townsite.
Got a bit nostalgic reading this one.
One tip to add – if anyone wants views of the actual Columbia Icefield, and not one of its glaciers, then stop for the Parker’s Ridge hike. Its relatively short.. maybe an hour to 1.5 hour to the top of the ridge, and incredible icefield views.
Thanks MK for that tip! Will have to check it out next time we go. When we went, the trails up there were still closed given it was still snowy.
Gosh this is a continuation of the win from part 1! Okay next spring I’m fitting in Lake Louise along with extended family trip in Vancouver. So many good tips with the various gift card options along with the many perks and activities with each place. Double salute 👏
