This was my first time in Western Canada, and it probably won’t be my last! Six days may not seem like a lot, but that’s all the time I had. I’ll be sharing the details of my itinerary and my budget. This trip is mainly focused on nature and the outdoors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rocky Mountains are impressive and majestic! I always dreamed of reaching the summit of their magnificent glaciers. When you travel the roads of the west, your gaze will always be drawn to the mountains. We’re a long way from Montreal – Quebec!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather was not always on our side. Most of the things I set out to do, I didn’t get a chance to accomplish! We’d make our choices day by day and follow the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 1 – Montreal – Calgary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Arriving at 11 a.m. gave us the whole day to do at least one activity, including our travel time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We headed to Banff National Park, where our first night was booked. When we arrived at the park, we passed in front of Lake Minnewanka<\/strong>. I was already hooked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading towards Two Jack Lake campground<\/strong>, the lake stretched out before us. Already, I found myself captivated by Western Canada!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lodging in Banff National Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We began by settling inton our luxury rustic campground: an oTENTik<\/strong> tent<\/a>, previously booked on the Parks Canada website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To book this type of accommodation, you must do so on the day booking opens. You’ll find the info here.<\/a> Usually, bookings start in January. And I’m telling you, they going fast!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
