There\u2019s nature and adventure at every corner, experiences that are just waiting for you! But, there is such a thing as \u201ca little too much,\u201d at least when you\u2019re talking about Banff. With so many options to go on adventures, it can be hard to fit everything into one trip.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the problem we\u2019re here to fix! We\u2019re going to be taking a look at 9 of the top things you can do in Banff, so when you\u2019re planning your vacation, you can make sure to hit all of the best spots!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore Johnston Canyon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sunwapta-falls-canadian-rockies-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2122175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sunwapta-falls-canadian-rockies-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sunwapta-falls-canadian-rockies-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sunwapta-falls-canadian-rockies-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sunwapta-falls-canadian-rockies-1536x800.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sunwapta-falls-canadian-rockies-850x443.jpg 850w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/sunwapta-falls-canadian-rockies.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Johnston Canyon is one of the most popular places in all of Banff, not just the national park. That\u2019s because, in this section alone, you can get a lot done. Start off with the hike. The hike is great for experienced hikers and families that just want to get to the great views from the top! There are <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/banff-activities\/our-favourite-waterfalls-in-the-canadian-rockies\/\">waterfalls to explore<\/a>, the caves, and the view from each of the viewpoints is so great that you might just stay there for hours just admiring the view!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part here is the fact that the Canyon is open throughout the year and looks totally different. So you could visit the location multiple times and still see something new each time!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Camping in Columbia Icefield<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-relaxing-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2122269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-relaxing-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-relaxing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-relaxing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-relaxing-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-relaxing-850x567.jpg 850w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-relaxing.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Camping is an excellent way to spend time outside, especially when you&#8217;re looking for a place that offers peace and quiet.  There are several different camping areas within Banff National Park, each with its own unique features. If you&#8217;re looking for a more secluded spot, try the <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/banff-activities\/summer-tours\/scenic-walks-on-the-columbia-icefield\/\">Columbia Icefield<\/a> Campground, located near the <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/howto\/the-must-dos-in-banff-town\/\">town of Banff<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lake Minnewanka is surrounded by mountains. It has a surface area of 1.5 square kilometers (0.6 square miles) and is fed by the Bow River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ride The Banff Gondola<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-gondola-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2122057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-gondola-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-gondola-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-gondola-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-gondola-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-gondola-850x567.jpg 850w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/banff-gondola.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Located at an elevation of 2,400 meters (8,000 feet), Sunshine Village offers visitors a chance to see the northern lights.  It&#8217;s also home to the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/banff-gondola\/\">Banff Gondola<\/a>, which takes guests up to the top of Sulphur Mountain in a fast 8 minutes! This might seem like an activity you can\u2019t do if you\u2019re afraid of heights, but that\u2019s not the case. The gondola is incredibly stable, and the view is so stunning that you might just find yourself mesmerized by it, forgetting the height aspect altogether! This is a must-try for those visiting Banff National Park!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Your Soak on in Upper Hot Springs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/banff-hot-springs.jpg\" alt=\"Banff Hot Springs, Alberta\" class=\"wp-image-2120608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/banff-hot-springs.jpg 960w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/banff-hot-springs-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/banff-hot-springs-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/banff-hot-springs-850x478.jpg 850w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/banff-hot-springs-295x165.jpg 295w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/banff-hot-springs-290x163.jpg 290w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Tired from the long hiking adventure?

So you\u2019ll be soaking up a lot more than just heat while you\u2019re out there!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Head over to Lake Louise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lake-louise-canoeing-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2122369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lake-louise-canoeing-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lake-louise-canoeing-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lake-louise-canoeing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lake-louise-canoeing-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lake-louise-canoeing-850x567.jpg 850w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/lake-louise-canoeing.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverlakelouise.com\/\">Lake Louise<\/a> is a place you can rack in a lot of different experiences, so you might want to take out a few days just to spend there. Book a stay at the <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/banff-accommodations\/hotels\/the-fairmont-chateau-lake-louise\/\">Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise<\/a>. You\u2019ll wake up to the incredible view of the lake every day, which, quite frankly, never gets old, but that\u2019s not it.
