About this picture
This photo was taken while driving around Banff, Alberta. The curved road in the middle of those tall trees made it feel like we were getting deep into the woods. The Jeep was perfect for giving a better sense of scale on this shot.

More Tips on Banff from Travelers
Banff Gondola
- I was going on this trip up to Calgary and have always heard about the amazing views and beauty of Banff National Forest. When I arrived, it was way more than I could have expected. The views were breathtaking and this photo doesn’t even do a justice to what you will witness. This was in October and it is the perfect time to go. Not too cold and there are not too many people visiting the park, so makes for some epic landscapes. I highly recommend this place so that you can take in the beauty for yourself!

Banff
- It was coming on the tail end of our North American road trip. Alberta was the final destination after driving up the Pacific Coast. As soon as we crossed from British Columbia into Alberta, this mother Grizzly and her cub were eating flowers beside the road. I had just bought a super zoom specifically for this trip and I’m so thankful I did. We pulled over on the other side of the road and we were dead silent - Knowing how bears can be. My first time seeing a Grizzly and my first time in Alberta.

Banff National Park
- First trip to the nature of Canada. i’m from Europe so this is pretty special for me especially at the age of 18. Even saw some bears, Canada has some really incredible nature. The nature wasn’t perfect but it made my photos look moody and i like that a lot. This was the first holiday i went on where i was into photography so it was amazing to explore the nature as well as the functions and every detail about my camera.

Banff,
- We had just finished up our day out in the wilderness of banff, and we were driving back into town. traffic slowed a bit, and we wondered what was going on. As we seemed to get close to what was causing the delay, I happened to look out my window and see this beautiful buck casually grazing. Thankfully my camera was sitting on my lap, and while we were sitting there, I was able to snap this picture.

Banff National Park
- After a 6 mile hike to Big Beehive in Banff National Park turned into 13 miles, this was one of the last photos I took while strolling back along Lake Louise. We were coming around from the back of the lake around 8pm, tired and in awe of the blue water and the incredible mountains that towered over us. This one was all about the journey, but the destinations were pretty awesome too.

Banff National Park
- On my way to Johnston Canyon in Banff when this guy poked its white face out in the blue. I had to drive a bit to find a safe place to stop and get out to take the picture, but I think it turned out ok. This is the kind of image that gives me pause and to reflect on the forces that created the rockies those millions of years ago. What a great way to time travel.

Banff National Park
- This photo was taken in the early morning just as the sun finally came out, during a hiking trip with my sister in the beautiful national park of Banff, Canada. The water was an exquisite turquoise blue and I love the way it contrasts with the bright colors of the canoes. Banff is a place that takes your breath away and it’s hard to capture the beauty in a photo.

Banff
- I live in Alberta, Canada and Banff is a fairly close drive that takes about an hour from where I live. Banff is one of my favorite places to take photos since I go on many hikes in the area. This image of the mountain with the forest in front was on of those hikes during the summer.
