BANFF'S BEST HIKES // 5 Hikes Worth Doing on Your Next Visit! (Moderate - Hard)

Lets talk about hiking in the Canadian Rockies! Today I will be sharing my top 5 hikes in Banff National Park from moderate to hard.
As someone who has been living in Banff National Park for the last two years, I have shared snippets of my hikes and even vlogged some for you. But today we are getting deeper than that! I'll be sharing my favourite trails, the stats of each and important things to note!
The trails I discussed in the video include:
- Boom Lake: Moderate - 10.5km - 650m
- Tower of Babel: Hard - 2.9km - 518m
- Larch Valley: Hard - 8.9km - 604m
- Healy Pass: Hard - 17.9km - 858m
- Lake Agnes: Moderate - 7.4km - 435m // Devils Thumb & Big Beehive: Hard - 12.7km - 1046m
BONUS: If you watch until the end I'll also share two extra hikes which are nearby but outside of the National Park! One of which is quite easy!
MORAINE LAKE:
As discussed in the video, Moraine Lake is only accessible by shuttle or private tour and as such if you would like to do either of the Moraine Lake hikes we discussed, you will need a shuttle ticket.
I recommend the Moraine Lake Bus Company! They are a local run, shuttle service to Moraine Lake! They offer return shuttle tickets starting at $35 and are one of the only sunrise shuttle providers. Book through this link for your next visit!

Great list! 👍 Thanks for sharing! I really wanted to take on the Larch Valley hike but ran out of time for the day. Perhaps on a future trip! You've probably checked them out, but the Skoki Lakes (Zigadenus and Myosotis Lakes) were phenomenal, and we had them all to ourselves. I hit them as part of the Skoki Loop.

Thank you for the feedback and recommendations! I would love to get out there and do those soon!

Hi Caitlin, just discovered your wonderful channel and my wife and I really enjoyed watching many of your videos today. We have been to the Canadian Rockies 12 times so far and can't wait to get back there and do some of the great hikes you have covered in your videos. Thanks for sharing all your great videos and we really hope you guys get your visas extended for another 2 years. You should try and hike around Maligne Lake if you get a chance. All the best and safe hiking.

Welcome and thank you! I'm so glad you are enjoying watching the videos. Also, appreciate the recommendation. I've done a little there but would love to experience more next summer!
