I went to the top of Sulfur Mountain via the gondola and looking north I saw this peak and it has a spire adjacent to it. What is it?

Hello there, looking for some advice from locals on this. My wife and I are heading out to Alberta, mostly in Calgary to see family who recently moved there, but we do of course plan to head out to Banff, Lake Louise, all the Rocky Mountain areas (plus a possible detour to see a friend in Invermere BC). I was planning to rent a car in Calgary, but my wife has a pretty intense fear of driving alongside steep cliffs, and is hesitant about doing it with me driving since I don't know the terrain. So my question to you locals who will know way better than I do is, how hazardous or steep are the drop-offs on the main roads like Highways 1 and 93 once we're into the Rockies, both on the Alberta and BC sides? Is there maybe a better or worse part, like say maybe it's worse if we drove up to the Columbia glacier but better near Banff? I think it would really help a lot of we know what we're in for when it comes to this kind of thing, and then we can decide if it would be better to take a bus from Calgary. Thanks for all the help! Looking forward to visiting

we have a trip planned to banff for may 3-8. I recently got diagnosed with a medical condition (POTS) that has recently proven it is going to be hard for me to walk miles upon miles without fainting. i have read through many posts here today, but still wanted to get insight from people who have been!

i know this is not ideal because this is truly an outdoorsy vacation, but i’m wondering if there are still any pretty things to see that are not as treacherous of a walk/hike?

this will be our honeymoon if that means anything. we will be renting a car as well 🤍

Hello. I’m organizing a dinner for a group of 8 or 9 people. Looking for a restaurant that offers halal items. What are some of the best restaurants that fits in Banff? We’ll be in Banff around the end of August. Thank you in advance!

My family and I are going to Banff national park this fall (September). We love to fish but don’t know how to fly fish. Does anyone on here have any recommendations or ideas on where to go to have a great experience? We are experienced fishermen who usually target northern species like Muskie, Pike, and Walleye.

Any and all recommendations are appreciated.

Hi,

I have a couple days reserved at Banff and 3 more days at lake louise campground.

I plan to set my tent in my truck bed so my question is: Is there buses that I can take from the campground to the interesting spots so I don't have to pack my tent everyday?

Or is a better idea to just get a ground tent and move in between places in my truck?

Also, any other camping tip is appreciated. I hear is a little wild there and all my previous experience is not in Canada.

Is there any night clubs in Banff the only one I can find is the dancing Sasquatch but it closed last year, any help would be good thank you

Is anyone traveling to the Icefields Centre from Banff in the next few days who might be willing to pickup a sweatshirt for me? We were told the Guardians of the Ice Hoodies would be available in town by the PC worker there, and he was mistaken. Happy to throw in some thank-you/gas money!

Which private shuttles let people spend 2 hours each at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake in one day? Appreciate the help!

I’m visiting later this week and plan to do plenty of hiking. I know the wildfires are in different providences, but I saw someone mention them in another Banff thread. Curious how bad the wildfire smoke is right now, if at all? TIA
