Every year we try to visit a new place so at the end of September 2024, we needed up in Calgary chasing the Aurora borealis, unfortunately we didn’t see it, BUT the trip turned out amazing.
I’ve added our top places, but we didn’t so much in 7 days...

Exploring Canada 🇨🇦
When I say this place is magical, I mean that. We got to see moose up close, see the beautiful lake and explore Banff. Probably some of the best foods we had while in Canada was in Banff. We went at the end of September and it was a little chilly, bu...
Lake Louise
Another MUST SEE lake when in Banff. You’re not able to drive here, but you can take the shuttle when you purchase your ticket and just hop on to see it from Lake Louise. We would suggest getting there early to see the sunrise or when the sun is sett...
Moraine Lake
Yoho National Park was gorgeous. We enjoyed the views and the restaurant they had tucked away. The pizza is a must try if you ever make it here, Cilantro on the Lake.
Yoho National Park Of Canada
My Hubby wanted to visit here before heading back to Calgary so we got a ticket just for the bridge AND it was scary - the only way you can get back is from the bridge. I was actually okay, but my poor husband wasn’t feeling it.
It’s cool how they ...
Golden Skybridge
My husband absolutely loved this tour. We did forget our water jugs to get some glacier water so it was disappointing. The ride was scary at first, but once we got down to the glaciers it was worth it. It was pretty cold and had been raining when we ...

That’s my Hubby just soaking in the views. After the Glacier tour, you get in a bus and they’ll stop here. You’re able to stay as long as you want as buses do come every 20-30 minutes.
As a person was is scared of heights, I was absolutely terrifie...
Columbia Icefield Skywalk
Made a quick stop here as we were leaving Yoho National Park. It was getting cold out so we decided to just take a quick peek.
I cannot say it enough, the lakes and rivers they have in Canada is like no other we’ve seen before, just absolutely stun...
Kicking Horse River
Our Accommodation Recommendations 🏡
This was our first stop in Calgary and we spent 2 days here. It was easy to find, but getting in and out of the parking garage was the hardest part because it’s going down 3 levels. Once we figured it out, it wasn’t an issue. Loved the view here and ...
Golden is probably the BEST location to be in. It’s easy access to six National Parks (Yoho, Banff, Glacier, Jasper, Kootenay, and Mt. Revelstoke). We stayed here for 3 nights and it was a little expensive, but worth the views. It is a tiny log cabin...
Cabin in Golden · ★4.68 · Studio · 2 beds · 1 bath
We spent our last 2 nights back in Calgary and stayed here using our points. The first picture was taken from our room and the sky was absolutely breathtaking.
The staff was friendly and got us checked in pretty quickly. The room was probably the m...

BEST Foods We Tried in Canada 🇨🇦
Little Restaurant tucked away with a beautiful view of Emerald Lake. We had the margarita pizza 🍕, so worth it. We chilled and just ate our food while enjoying the beautiful views.
Cilantro On The Lake
We got the Ultimate Greek Fest for 2 and it was worth the $120. Probably the most authentic Mediterranean food we’ve ever eaten. We had left overs because there was so much food 😅
For many of the restaurants here, it’s good to always make reservat...
The Balkan Mediterranean Restaurant
The BEST dessert spot in Banff - we found out it’s actually all over Canada. We actually went here twice 😂
The only complaint we had was the wrapping they put the pastry in, it was sticking to the toppings and made it hard to enjoy when all the to...
