The 22 best rooftop spots in Banff National Park

We had an amazing experience at 3 Bears Brewery! On our second visit, we were served by Eloy, who was absolutely fantastic. Even though the restaurant was quite busy, the staff handled everything with such professionalism and genuine friendliness. It’s no surprise this place is always packed — they have their own crafted beers that are simply a must-try! The food was also incredible, and every bite was worth it. Kudos to the owner and manager for running such a well-organized and welcoming establishment. We’ll definitely be back!

We came here for dinner and were seated upstairs. The space was beautifully decorated with a stylish bar and a glass roof that let in lots of light — and closed up nicely when it got chillier outside. Service was perfect. Our friendly waiter guided us through the (beer) menu, which was much appreciated. They brew the beer locally, and as Belgians we were very happy to finally drink good, affordable beer abroad. Even better: it wasn’t just affordable, it was really tasty too! We tried the pilsner, a fruity seasonal, and the mango IPA. For mains, we had a pepperoni pizza and mac ’n cheese. The pizza was basically more pepperoni than pizza (not necessarily a bad thing), but the dough was solid. The mac ’n cheese was tasty and definitely filling.

We visited a brewery restaurant in downtown Banff after seeing the good Google reviews. Since the weather was nice, we sat on the patio. We ordered a pale ale, mushroom pizza, and the beef tenderloin. The beer was smooth and tasty, and the food overall was quite good. The steak was more tender and flavorful than expected, though the prices were on the higher side. Service was friendly, and the restaurant itself is quite spacious with two floors. It’s not right on the main street, so it felt quieter and more relaxed, which we really enjoyed.

We stopped into Three Bears tonight on our second trip to Banff. We regret not coming here for dinner sooner! Our server Macy was wonderful. Very friendly, funny, great customer service, made great cocktails and was very accommodating to our requests and vegan guests. All staff we encountered were kind and welcoming. Food was amazing, o.s. they aren’t kidding about the crust, sooo good! and the maple old fashioned is a must try. I highly recommend stopping in!

Check out the Happy Hour here. Everything was pretty good. Was really surprised about how good the mac n’ cheese was. The whole entire place is photo worthy. There was also live music. Don’t miss this place when you visit Banff

I visited this place with my family on a Saturday afternoon. Although it was a bit crowded, the wait time was surprisingly short thanks to the spacious interior. The decor is vibrant and nature-inspired, with beautiful displays featuring animals and greenery, it gives the space a warm, energetic vibe. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into creating the atmosphere. The service was excellent; our server was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. There was also live music playing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. As for the food, every dish we ordered was delicious. We had the 7-cheese pizza, perfect for cheese lovers, the Caesar salad, which was fresh and flavorful, and the Alberta bison ribs, a local specialty that was tender and rich in flavor. The cheesy waffle fries were also a hit, crispy and loaded with flavor. I tried the Pinery Pilsner beer, which was crisp, refreshing, and paired well with the meal. An extra fun touch: they also sell their own branded merchandise, which adds to the charm and personality of the place. I definitely recommend this spot for its great food, excellent service, fun vibe, and unique atmosphere.

Really happy with our experience at Three Bears. Hugely busy, so glad we got a reservation! The beer was wonderful, and the environment was perfect. We got a chicken sandwich and a pizza to split. The chicken sandwich was great, and the pizza was quite tasty, too. We did wish the cheese had been marbled a bit more at a higher temperature, but no real complaints. Definitely recommended!

Make a reservation if you have a group bigger than 5. We had 8. Food was delicious. Reasonably priced for Banff. It was busy. A bit squishy to get around, as you are pretty close to the other tables. Sauces were fresh. Service a little slow as it was so busy! Loud, but it adds character to the atmosphere of the distillery. Bathrooms could be a tad cleaner. Overall, I enjoyed it immensely. This was my last time traveling to Banff. It is so overcrowded. No parking available. I like little stress as possible, and the town was insane. Too busy for me and the family.

Came here twice during our visit to Banff, we came back the second time not only because it was a neat environment however the staff was very friendly! It was truly a good experience and consistent both times! Came here the first night for drinks and the bartenders were very personable and friendly! The drinks were good too, so all around we had an excellent experience. Then on Sunday we got engaged and came here for dinner after our lake tours and had another good experience! The food was excellent, yet again the drinks were good and the environment great! They distill and make spirits here and it’s just a cool spot! We throughly enjoyed this place and the bartender gave us a celebratory shot after hearing of our engagement! We will be back during our next visit and know it’ll be the same!!! Thank you

Food was good. The bbq sauce is amazing. Had the gnocci and was good but not enough. Also had the rotisserie chicken and the gravy was cold. Drinks were half price in happy hour and good. Live entertainment also really nice

Amazing vibes! Such a cool place to go for a quick sit down with appys and omg you have to try the hard root beer 10/10 new favourite cocktail! The hot spinach dip was so creamy and yummy and our waitress J.A. Was amazing. She remembered us and made sure we felt right at home! Thank you for the amazing experience. Your establishment is amazing and such a cool place to visit!!

Food so good we went twice while on vacation! This is a great lowkey spot with excellent house made spirits. Lunch special was totally worth it and the cornbread appetizer is really as good as everyone says. Great atmosphere, location and service!

My girlfriend and I stopped at park for lunch with the dogs. We were seated out in the patio right away. Our waiter Sam was fantastic. We split the meat platter and there was nothing left really good. The observation peak cocktail which I had was fantastic very Smokey and smooth! Definitely a great spot to sit relax with a drink and people watch

My group the spicy rigatoni, salmon, chicken and the truffle fries. Everything was delicious! I also had a good Mexican draft beer and Moscow mule cocktail. The cocktail seemed light on alcohol however. We sat outside with a nice view of the street and mountains.

We have dined here several times over the years and am so happy to have made it back as they have not missed a step at any point and remain our favorite place for fine dining here n town. Simply yum. A thoughtful menu that changes over time for new surprises to discover, with a solid wine menu to pair as u prefer. I love the authentic Caesar and the duck was absolutely divine w the added twist of the confit and that savory yet oh so light broth. Service was top notch once again. Reservations recommended for sure. Enjoy, explore, enjoy some more.

This was our second trip to The Bison and it was just as phenomenal as our first experience two years ago! We absolutely loved the bison short rib and duck during our first visit but wanted to try something new this time. We thoroughly enjoyed the Caesar salad, steak frites and crispy fried chicken!! The flavors along with the textures and contrast was on point! We loved our server, Maria! Thanks for taking such good care of us! Lastly, all of the drinks we have tried (cocktails and wine) have been fantastic too. We will be sure to come back for round 3 the next time we visit Banff!

We managed a last minute reservation for a party of three. We'd been hiking (scruffy but not smelly or covered in mud) and the dining room was upscale but relaxed so we didn't feel out of place. We ordered the Bison Tartar, Venison Steak, Duck, and Spare Ribs... Maybe one of the best meals of my life! I especially loved the venison and I usually hate it. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to anyone interested and will definitely be going back

The Bison Restaurant in Banff absolutely exceeded our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the warm rustic atmosphere and mountain views set the perfect tone for dinner. The service was outstanding — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. We tried the bison tomahawk, and it was phenomenal — perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of rich, smoky flavor. Every dish was beautifully presented and made with fresh, local ingredients. A truly memorable dining experience in Banff — highly recommended for anyone looking for top-quality Canadian cuisine in a cozy yet elegant setting!

I love the presentation of our dinner, however, I found the appetizer is quite unbalance. It is overly seasoned that masked the flavor of the main ingredients. We requested outdoor seating because we had our dog with us. Sadly, it is extremely cold- no heater or whatsoever, which is strange! So i would suggest against it. The food is good but not exceptionally good, hence, 4 stars since I think it is overpriced.

Dined here several times now and consistently delicious. Good cocktails and friendly service. Second floor covered patio is a nice feature in the summer.

The Bison was, far and away, the best meal we had in the Banff area. Every dish we ordered was superb, but the bison tartare was for sure the standout. The grapefruit cocktail also was one of the better cocktails we've had in a really long time. The tomato tarts were perfect, and so was the burrata. The staff were super friendly and charming, and made the whole experience wonderful. Couldn't recommend enough!

Had a great time here. This was the perfect casual hangout on the roof, having drinks and appetizers. Great view! Shout out to our waiter Willis! Excellent service!

We really enjoyed the place. Tom was an awesome bartender and super friendly. We ate at the rooftop bar and it has great views. Prices were about par for Banff. I loved the brisket sliders. We overlooked the entrance as its just some stairs, but once you get up there it's quite large inside. Rooftop bar is fairly large as well.

We went to the roof top. Amazing views. Ordered gluten free, dairy free poutine for my wife (to be)... It was amazing! She never gets gluten free or dairy free poutine and it was SO GOOD. I had the French Onion Soup. It was very good! My buddy has the bacon Mac and cheese, it was good, not amazing, but not bad. Overall very happy with the food and the views!

Glad we found their 3rd floor deck here as the evening view can be stellar for sure if the weather cooperates. Nice selection of beers, and very friendly helpful service. The bar grub is okay and definitely better than a lot of run of the meal pubs u might come across. Fair warning that the lamb burger, while tasty for sure had far more heat than anticipated, and I like spicy offerings but many might not want a 3 alarm fire that comes w this one. The bun was great and makes it a much better burger than a lot of other joints. I personally liked the butter chicken the best and the heat level was right on par. Wish we could have stayed for the band downstairs as it looked like a great room for a gig…maybe next time.

Tom was the best! He got our humor and played along... also awesome food and beers. .but that View!!!!!

The patio view is pretty great, the service was very “meh” and the lady was kind of rude and I asked for vegan options. I had a salad and some fries, nothing really great tbh. Do not recommend.

I wish more people knew about this spot. The patio is absolutely incredible. Such a hidden gem. For the workers sake I wish more people knew about it. Incredible views. Highly suggest.

Not a bad steakhouse but what I ordered didn't surprise me. The "Alberta steaks" that are a main selling point at a lot of restaurants in the area including this one just have not impressed me and I don't think they are worth the money. The peppercorn sauce I got as well wasn't that impressive either as I have had better peppercorn sauces from other places. Overall not bad for a nice meal but don't expect to be wowed.

Lovely steak house atmosphere. Knowledgeable staff who can explain everything on the menu. Food was stunning of the eyes and even better on the palette. Our server wipped us up an amazing Cesar salad tableside and the steaks and sides were perfect. The salmon is unbelievably excellent. The steaks- perfect. The sides, quite complimentary! Black ale beer is a perfect companion for your meal. Would definitely do again. Not to be confused with Chucks Roadhouse!

Me and my wife wanted to spend our anniversary at a nice steakhouse and we did not go wrong with Chucks. Made a reservation and we arived 15 mins early and they got us a seat right away. In no time Jess, our server, was there with a smile on her face. She was the absolute best, very friendly, helpful and prompt. After we ordered, the food was on our table in no time and it was exceptional. The Wagyu tenderlion was the best steak we have ever eaten and was cooked to perfection. The sides were portioned well and tasted excellent. There was a good selection of alcohol and Jess was very fast at getting our drinks to us and refilling our water without even asking. After the meal they even offered a desert on the house for our occasion. The whole experience was amazing and very relaxing. Not rushed at all. We would recommend everyone to try the steaks here and to go to Chuck's if ever given the oppurtunity.

Had an incredible experience at Chuck’s! They had a special on that included an appetizer, steak, three sides, and dessert, which was an amazing value for the quality and portions. We also ordered the tableside Caesar and mushrooms, plus a bottle of wine. The steak was absolutely amazing, perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the I’ve had. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed dinner after a day in the mountains. Service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing. Overall, a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend for anyone craving a great steak in a warm, welcoming setting.

It’s not easy to make our family feel satisfied at same time. 2 kids, 2 seniors and we couple. Actually we go to the Maple Leaf at first. The lady at front desk refused me not only by her words but also by her attitude-no eye contact while refusing. We are lucky to turn to Chuck’s. The lady at front desk here did not answer us very quickly. She checked then let us in. Everything is just right. I have to say, kids menu really shocked me. So good quality and so big portions! Amazing! Prime ribeye has a little bit more fat for us. The original beef flavour is excellent even without black pepper and salt. If you don’t like too much seaning or sauce, this could be a good option. For my parents, I chose beef rib as suggested. True tender, easy for seniors. They like the sauce flavour. Charred broccoli is much better than in other restaurants. It’s another surprise. While we are having dinner, our waitress (sorry I didn’t ask her name) forget our drinks. When we got the bill, this part is free for us. I like their work style. Humble, amiable, facing problems directly and taking the initiative to assume responsibilities. A truly worthy restaurant!

We had dinner at Chuck’s our last night in Banff after several people recommended it. It did not disappoint! Chucks was the best meal we had our entire trip. From the minute we walked in we were treated like royalty. We had just gotten married and they made a point to acknowledge that with complimentary bubbles and over the top service. Our server Tommy was incredible! He was the best server we have had at any restaurant and we travel a lot. He recommended an amazing Canadian wine and made the experience memorable. We got the burrata, table side Caesar, and the Ribeye-all not to be missed! Also the banana cream pie was one of the best desserts we have ever had! We had dinner at the highly recommended 1888 chophouse the night prior to this and there was no comparison. We would come back to Chuck’s over and over! Thank you Tommy for the incredible service and the entire crew for making this a memorable experience for our special time in Banff!

Super happy with my experience at Chucks! A beautiful view and the beef was unreal, we ordered the prime sirloin and prime rib as suggested by the waiter. We also got 3 sides, French fries, broccolini and mushrooms. I would say mushrooms were the least favorite, expected more flavour as it’s was just cooked in butter. Highly recommend!!

We loved the view, they gave us blanket to stay outside even with the cold. The service was perfect, caring and thoughtful people. We had the eggs and bison, it was good but small portion. And we had the chanterelle crepe with sour cream and added the smoked salmon, smoke salmon was delicious but the garlic in the crepe was overpowering for us. We learned afterwards that the chef is Mexican so I would recommend to take the Mexican inspired food. But we LOVED our experience and highly recommend!

Our dinner at the bistro was delicious and the restaurant offers a vegan options. Our host Leo and Sid were gracious and very accommodating. We preferred their dinner menu over breakfast since it has more variety. Our breakfast was a bad experience due to cooking errors. Overall, I would come back for the beautiful view and the atmosphere in the evening.

If you’re looking for a delicious and satisfying meal in Banff, I highly recommend Juniper Bistro—especially for their Burrito! It’s packed with fresh, flavorful ingredients and perfectly balanced spices that make every bite memorable. The portion is generous, and the presentation is beautiful, reflecting the care and creativity of the kitchen. Whether you’re fueling up for a hike or just enjoying a relaxing brunch, this Burrito is a must-try. Plus, the cozy atmosphere and scenic views from Juniper Bistro make the whole experience even more enjoyable. A fantastic choice for great food with a view!

We stayed at the Juniper Hotel and ate here for both brunch and dinner. Our service at both meals was fantastic- Elmer and Ankar were kind, helpful, and friendly. The food itself was lovely, and we enjoyed brunch so much that we decided to make back for dinner. The menu was thoughtfully crafted & you can’t beat the views overlooking the mountains while you’re eating. We loved our time here!

We came here to have our dinner together celebrate my wife's birthday and the ambient, staff and food was top notch! We ordered the truffle mash potatoes, Bison 3 ways (cured, steak, and sausage), pistachio cake, and sorbet (free for the birthday girl). We really liked the food and our server. If you haven't tried Bison before, try it! It has a meatier taste and apparently healthier than beef!

The views are lovely, the food is great, and the restaurant is ok :). This was one of the best breakfasts I've had anywhere, ever. I would make a point to go back for the elk sausage and crafty ceasars. Definitely one of the top two spots in Banff for an incredible breakfast.

Wow! Go here for the views and enjoy the nearly Michelin level of food and service. The laid back atmosphere made it even better! It was our tenth anniversary and Bisheen (sp?) gave extraordinary service. We sat on the patio to enjoy the evening sunset highlighting the mountains. His suggestions of the crunchy vegetables with the trout and side of asparagus were superb. We were leaning towards the yummy sounding Brie but are so glad to try the unique appetizer of veggies and dips. The dried carrot chips were unique and I have never had dehydrated capers before! So unique! The pairing with a bottle of rose from BC at our server’s suggestion was fantastic!

Elk & Oarsmen was the perfect Banff dinner spot! We enjoyed the rooftop patio with amazing mountain views—it’s hard to beat that backdrop after a long day’s hike. 🏔️🍹 The food hit the spot: the elk sandwich was hearty and flavorful, and the elk pizza was unique and delicious. Pair that with a local craft beer and you’ve got the ultimate Banff evening. The vibe is lively yet laid-back, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend this spot for good food, great views, and a fun atmosphere!

Great food and wonderful views. The rooftop patio provides panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and Banff Ave from a birds eye perspective. The wait staff were all welcoming and provided incredible service.

We stopped here for a little while before continuing with our tour. We sat on their rooftop patio with a beautiful view if the mountains around. Had some wine abd the best fries ever.

The view from the patio was amazing and the Elk poutine was so delicious. The server was awesome and gave us some tips on where to go while we were in town. Highly recommend this place!

Let’s be real… you come here for the elk, and oh boy, are you spoiled for choice! I went with the highly recommended elk ravioli and they were delicious! The local beer was a perfect match too. It does get a bit loud when a game is on, but that’s part of the bar vibe.

Delicious food on a rooftop terrace overlooking Banff = fabulous! I had the delicious pesto pasta and a massive pitcher of hard strawberry lemonade and my husband had elk ravioli. Highly recommended.

We had an amazing dining experience at Elk & Oarsman! The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish bursting with flavours. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Great job!

We ordered the seafood linguine, spicy rigatoni, carbonara, and the kids’ rigatoni with tomato sauce — all were delicious and well seasoned. The pasta was flavourful and satisfying, especially for a busy Banff restaurant. It’s not the delicate, handmade style you’d find at a little mom-and-pop spot where the chef shops that morning for each table, but it was still excellent quality and clearly made with care. We started with the Caesar salad, which was quite anchovy-forward (we usually prefer a more garlicky one, but that’s just personal taste). The drinks, however, were out of this world, and the service was top-notch — friendly, attentive, and efficient. Overall, LUPO delivers good Italian food in the heart of Banff with a lively atmosphere and fantastic cocktails. Would definitely return next time we’re in town (especially because the service was the better of all we had over our stay).

Genuinely loved the food, drinks and service here. We were looking for a pasta place and stumbled across LUPO so booked a table for later in the day. The restaurant is light, open and airy located up a set of stairs. We were nestled in a corner at the back of the restaurant and sat perpendicular to each other which worked out great for sharing food. The saffron radiatori was our stand out dish, the flavours were great and we said that we could easily come back and eat that again the next day - the highlight of the whole meal. We also had the spicy meatballs which were really tasty. The cocktails went down very nicely, as did the tiramisu which was demolished very quickly. As others have said in their reviews, the service is always what takes it up a notch. From the moment we stepped in to the moment we left we felt welcome and at ease. The waiter explained the whole menu to us, along with the drinks and any offers they had on. I’d recommend booking a table before you come as when we were there many people were queuing for walk ins - you can book a table online on the day and you will be fine. Side note: the bathroom soap smells fantastic and we went and bought some from Rocky afterwards.

I kept looking up reviews on where to eat in Banff since there are SO many options all with pretty good ratings. Nearly every Reddit post mentioned Lupo so I had to try it and it did not disappoint. We missed out on making reservations but were seated within 5 minutes at around 5:45-6 on a Saturday in September which we were thrilled about. I would’ve waited though had there been a wait. Food, drinks, service, atmosphere all 10/10. I got the dragonflies in paradise and wolf street hold up cocktails which were both amazing. For food I got the mafaldine limone and my boyfriend got the spicy rigatoni which were both so delicious and flavorful. We did get the focaccia starter which came with 2 pieces. I think this should just come with your pasta instead of costing an extra cost but it’s okay. We will definitely be returning here and recommending it to everyone looking for a place to eat in Banff!

We had a great meal at Lupo, our server Christine was top notch,she explained everything on the menu that we had questions on. Kept our waters full and always checked in. Food was hot a fresh. We had chicken parm,margarita pizza ,truffle fries and seafood pasta. Highly recommend giving them a try,and if Christine is your server you are in for a treat.

We showed up without a reservation and the place was packed. But they had a first come, first served area which the seating was a covered outdoor patio on the second floor,which we preferd and was lovely! Great service and even better food. We ordered Cesar salad for appetizer. Then for main course we chose chicken parmesan( Which was the best i he e ever had) and believe me i have had them at many restaurants and different countries.) Handmade ribbon pasta with Reggiano, butter and lemon which was second to none! Go there and enjoy a great meal!

Nice italian spot in the heart of Banff. The restaurant is visually appealing and offers a nice atmosphere. The food was excellent, but maybe a little under my standards for fresh italian pastas in that price range. Felt more generic than homemade to me. Anyways, the scallop crudo is to die for and is a must try for its unique taste. Would go there again if pasta is what I am craving 🍝

This is my first time visiting Banff & I came to dine here as I wanted to go to one nicer restaurant while I’m here and I could not have picked better! I eat a mostly vegetarian diet and they had the best pasta options, I started with the crispy potatoes and they were perfect! Then I got the lemon pasta and wow, I would 10/10 recommend it, the pasta is made fresh I was told by my waiter- who was very kind & helpful! I also finished with the Tirimisu and it was delicious! I took it to go and it was just as good the next day! Do yourself a favour and visit this restaurant in Banff:)

Great food and exceptional service. Went there during a trip to Canada and absolutely loved the drinks, food (loved the meat, pescatarian and vegetarian options, so yummy)! Definitely recommend 👍🏽👍🏽 Note- recommend making reservations over the phone if not in advance- wait time is real as their phone call recording says.

We were dining on the patio, and at the beginning they told us, “We can’t guarantee you’ll be able to move inside if it rains.” Still, we decided to enjoy sitting outside. Then, out of nowhere, it started pouring. I asked our server, just in case, if we could move inside, and they immediately prepared a table for us and guided us in. I was there with my parents, so it was such a big help! The food and drinks were delicious, and the service was excellent. Thank you so much!

Tried their tacos and the basin burrito — both were delicious! Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and well-balanced seasoning. Portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted authentic. Definitely worth coming back for more!

We are OBSESSED with magpie and stump. Whether we stop in for nachos after a long day of skiing or can’t resist a margarita during a browse in Banff… this is our go to. The food is FRESH, AUTHENTIC and GENEROUS! Nothing will beat the house made corn chips either. Service is always animated and promptly timed! Makes for a memorable experience.

After visiting the lakes, we were walking back to our car we came upon the delicious smelling Magpie & Stump and hurried in. I had a delicious jalapeño margarita and chicken quesadillas, and my son had the recommended chicken fajitas. They were both very good. We had a fantastic server from London, and the bar tender kept the drinks coming:)

Amazing choices of beer and Food. We ordered quesadillas, tacos and couple of beers. Loved the food, the vibe and felt bit neglected by the waiter as they would take time to come on check if we need anything. Waiter didn’t even bothered to ask if we need any desserts. But again it would be that one Individual. I would definitely go again if I am in BANFF

One of the friendliest places we were in while in Banff. The cocktails were brilliant, and the food sublime, all with great service. So good, we came back twice more during our stay with each experience living up to the last. The nachos are a must.

Great spot for fresh beers, Ride or Dry was my favorite! The smash burger was goooood. The hot chicken sandwich could have had more seasoning / sauce. It was pretty dry. The servers were friendly, the vibe is great. Would recommend.

I’ve eaten here many times over 14years and usually love the food. But tonight we ordered takeout through an app, and my burger came with this awful rotten piece of lettuce! I don’t mean wilted from being in the box, but yellow & brown patches from it being days or weeks old! It was disgusting to find rotten food in my freshly ordered meal!!!

A little late to review but better late than never! On a weekend trip with my mom and sister I insisted we go to Banff ave brewing as it is a favourite of my husband and I. We previously had a lot of the fancier restaurants booked for dinners. We popped in at opening for lunch and we had such a fantastic meal. My mom ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and she said it was the best “burger” she has ever had and that the fries were absolutely perfect. I ordered a regular burger and have dietary restrictions, our server Jeremiah was so helpful and just overall a wonderful server. He was attentive, funny and knowledgeable. The nitro pina colada was killer. Thank you for a wonderful time as always.

This is a fun brewpub with an excellent selection of permanent and rotating beers on tap - the tasting selection of 6 beers is the way to go. It was fully packed out when we visited owing to the Melissa’s Road Race crowd but were still well served despite longer than usual waits for drinks and food. A good, convenient and causal pit stop for some drinks and grub on the main drag.

Stopped into Banff Ave Brewing and had the 12-oz Wild Warden (Raspberry Rhubarb Sour 6.2%) which was a really good beer that I would have again. This was a nice brewery with more draft options than the Three Bears Brewery nearby. Unfortunately the 2nd floor seating at the balcony lookong out onto the street had all seats taken, otherwise, that seemed like a really nice spot to enjoy a cold beer on a warm day.

We ate outside and was dog friendly. They have daily specials and we tried the fish and chips with poutine fries and the cauliflower app. Everything was fresh and crispy, super tasty. Tried some various beers they had on tap which were great. Def recommend if you are in town.

Cool place, good staff, accommodating of our baby, tasty beers and food. The reason this isn't a 5 star is everything was good, but I wasn't blown away by anything. Definitely worth a visit.

Must Go when in Banff! Great activity with kids!! Super easy hike! I was with my 2 little ones in June. Amazing views all around! May not be wheelchair friendly for the hike but still see the view from the building! Super clean, easy, and safe! If you get lucky you will see some animals!! Highly Recommend for anyone and families!

Loved this! The gondola ride was great. The view from the top is amazing! The actual trails at the top were closed when visited but there was still space and short trail to walk at the top to enjoy the view. There also an outdoor restaurant at the top. Small line to enter the gondola ride but moved quickly. The staff were also really friendly. Would recommend checking ticket prices online and if trails are open prior to going.

The Banff Gondola is one of the most iconic experiences in the Canadian Rockies, offering breathtaking panoramic views and exceptional opportunities for photography. Located just a short drive from downtown Banff, the gondola takes visitors to the summit of Sulphur Mountain, where six mountain ranges unfold in every direction. The journey itself lasts only a few minutes, but the scenery evolves dramatically as you ascend — from dense evergreen forests to rugged alpine peaks. At the top, photographers will find a series of viewing platforms and the Sulphur Mountain Boardwalk, a scenic trail leading to the Cosmic Ray Station. Every step along this ridge provides a new composition — sweeping valleys, glacial rivers, and the charming town of Banff nestled far below. The light changes quickly at this altitude, making sunrise and sunset particularly magical times to visit. The summit complex, known as the Banff Gondola Upper Terminal, features indoor observation decks, interpretive exhibits, and a rooftop terrace perfect for wide-angle landscape shots. For those who enjoy combining photography with fine dining, the Sky Bistro offers spectacular window views alongside locally inspired cuisine. Winter adds another dimension to the experience: snow-covered peaks, soft golden light, and the contrast of white landscapes against deep blue skies. In summer, the air is crisp and clear, revealing endless layers of the Rockies — a dream setting for both casual photographers and professionals. The Banff Gondola is more than just a ride — it’s an invitation to see the Canadian Rockies from their most majestic angle. Whether you’re capturing vast landscapes, dramatic skies, or intimate mountain details, this location rewards every photographer with unforgettable imagery.

The 2200 foot climb with 2- 4 seat gondola cabins is a must do on any bucket list. There are 3 restaurants at the top. A cafe with plenty of eats and bevies, a buffet style restaurant with an amazing aray of food items and desserts, and the Sky Bistro. The reward at the top are the stunning mountain views. I encourage you to take the boardwalk to the peak. Dress appropriately and proper footwear suggested.

What a magnificent view and experience when you get up there. We went there when it was snowing so it was wet. Might want to bring a pancho in case it t snow or rains. We bought ticket online and printed out our ticket. We also bought a package for dinner at the Sky Bistro as well highly recommend it. We were here in early November and it was not a lot of people at all. We drove up to their parking area. There are 2 parking area. You will need to pay for the national park pass to park there. You can also take a bus from the city. The gondola ride is pretty easy. Seats 4 per gondola. Before you get to the gondola, you will go through a line and they will take a picture for souvenirs. It is the same as when you come down from the mountain. Trying to sell you the experience. When you get up to the top, there is a four story building with exhibits. There is a theater as well. They only complain is I wish they would have documentary about the history of the mountains and the weather station. The hike to the weather station is pretty easy. It is boardwalk all the way up and downstairs if you go during the snow, make sure to dress appropriately and have good shoes for traction. On the fourth floor, there is an observatory deck which you can sit out, and there was fireplace that you can stand around when it’s cold. There is a Starbucks and gift shop down at the valley where you start your gondola ride. I saw two restaurants and a coffee shop and a gift shop at the top of the mountain. Overall cleanliness of the building is very good. All the staffs that works there are very friendly and nice and helpful. Highly recommend buying a promotional gondola ride and a restaurant experience at the Sky Bistro.

The Banff Gondola is pure magic — an experience that makes you feel on top of the world (literally). From the moment the gondola lifts off, you’re rising above the trees, watching the valleys and peaks open up below you. The ride is smooth and surprisingly quick, but the views unfold like a movie — every angle more breathtaking than the last. At the top, you’re standing at one of the highest accessible points in Canada, with panoramic views that truly make you feel small in the best way possible. Snow-capped peaks, endless forests, crisp mountain air — it’s nature showing off. Tips for travelers: • Bring layers — it’s much colder and windier at the summit than at the base. • Take your time at the top. There are walking paths and lookout platforms that are worth every step. • Even if you’ve seen photos online, nothing compares to being there in person. This isn’t just a ride; it’s an essential Banff experience. If you want to see the Canadian Rockies in their full glory, the gondola is a must. 📍 Banff Gondola — a ride to the sky, and a memory you’ll never forget. #MichelleGoesGlobal

The gondola ride was so beautiful to see the views while riding up was amazing! I am afraid of heights so it was a little scary lol but I was so glad I did it! The views were worth it and getting to the top and hiking sulfur mountain was an experience to remember! It was sprinkling and the sun was out there was a rainbow. It was so incredible! When we got to the top of the mtn the rain turned into snow flurries it was so pretty. It didn't take long to hike and seeing the areas we went to the days prior was super cool to see from this view. Once we got back to the Gondola area the views from the skydeck was pretty and there was a station to color a post card, which was a fun experience with my daughter. We then had dinner at the Sky Bistro, which was a must. Def make reservations ahead of time cause you don't want to miss the amazing food! This whole experience is a must if you are visiting Banff National Park!

Told me I could get a free drink on my birthday before I was seated and then charged me for everything even after I bought two tacos. Underwhelming tacos at best. Please stuff my tacos up to the brim next time. All the best.

Amazing rooftop vibes with delicious tacos and great drinks. The staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere made for a perfect night out. Highly recommend for a fun evening with friends.

I just loved this place, one of the many highlights of visiting this beautiful mountain town. The waiter Martel was was so friendly and accommodating, he moved the chairs and tables out of my way without being asked (I weigh 550 lb and lost a foot to diabetes last year) This saved me a lot of embarrassment as I have found a lot of the accommodations north of the border unsuitable for a man of my carriage. I digress. Now I must talk about the food, it was amazing. I had the queso fundido, the tex mex wings & the tortilla soup to start- all top notch , especially the wings, next I had Spicy chicken fajitas, 2 bison tacos & the goat nachos - all delicious. Then I washed it all down with with 2 liters of dos equis. An all around wonderful dining experience. The only thing that I would change about this place is the stairs, I hope they have an elevator installed by the next time I visit.

Went here last week for nachos, tacos and cocktails - they were amazing! Great service from Tom too 👏 would definitely come back next time we are in Banff!

Such a fun rooftop with wonderful vibes-Great tacos and beer. we really enjoyed

Food is poor at best. Veg one specifically. Will trick you to seating inside as outside is more popular even if you ask for place that doesn’t have loud bloated music

Amazing rooftop patio. Live DJ. Half off tacos during happy hour.

The Cave and Basin National Historic Site is an interesting place to visit, especially if you’re into history and learning about the origins of Canada’s national parks. The cave itself is unique, and the bubbling thermal waters are cool to see. However, the site is relatively small, and there isn’t a ton to do after you’ve explored the main features. Worth a visit if you’re nearby.

This is a great park and exhibit area. There are some really cool signs before entering the cave inside which was amazing. Beware that you need to duck, and it really smells bad. Walking up to the springs on the hill is also really cool. Another great thing here is the Marsh Trail. This is a well rounded and unique and cool experience.

It was an amazing experience visiting this place and reading about how the national parks came to be in Canada. So much information is shared in the exhibits. The hot spring cave was pretty amazing to see as well. The exhibits and displays conveyed a great story of how the site was formed and how it was converted to a national historic site. Definitely recommend visiting the place with kids and helping them understand a bit of history of the land these national forests came to be from.

This is worth a visit if you have time. The museum provides interesting information about the local First Nations people, as well as the later discovery of the site by European settlers. The location is stunning, and there are trails you can walk: a short and easy marsh boardwalk with information boards about the local wildlife; a longer marsh trail; and a significantly longer route to Sundance Canyon. Use the marsh trail & loop back on the first part of the Canyon route for a decent circular walk. Use your insect repellant! (Fearsome mosquitoes).

It was neat to see the old cave and pools, but there wasn’t much else there and the admission price is more than triple what it was years ago. There was a short video played on the screens, but not very informative. I will say, though, all the staff were super friendly and very eager to assist. Good people.

Cave and Basin National Historic Site is a hidden gem in Banff that offers both a beautiful and educational experience. The site is incredibly clean and well-maintained, making it a pleasure to explore. The natural surroundings are stunning, and the historic significance of the area adds an extra layer of interest to the visit. If you’re a new Canadian citizen, don’t miss the opportunity to use the Canoo app to get a free pass to this historic site. It’s a great way to dive into Canada’s rich history without any cost. The site provides a fascinating look into the origins of Canada’s national parks, with informative displays and exhibits that help you understand the importance of this location.

It was very impressive. It smelled amazing because it smelled so strong. It seemed like a miracle that there was a creature like a snail here. It was believed that this sulfur hot spring was really good water for healing. If there was a private spa, I would have wanted to experience it, but unfortunately, only public baths existed.

I don't have words to explain the beauty of this place. Its must visit place stunning view around the falls, breathtaking scenery and beautiful running water . when you park the car you can't imagine whts next . Just walk towards the bridge and enjoy the water fall at the end. Note: Baby stroller can easily Go there. Note: Washrooms are not that standard, no water access so just sanitizer. Try to avoid to use.

It was an amazing sight, very simple and accessible on the way to this waterfall. You can see it from afar, and it looks majestic, huge, and tall. When you arrive, you have very easy access to the waterfall itself, and you can truly enjoy the view. There are quite a lot of people, and the parking lot gets full, but you can park a little further away and take a short walk. A wonderful place for kids, adults, and seniors. Absolutely stunning!

A must-see destination for all nature lovers! This is the second tallest waterfall in Canada and it’s absolutely breathtaking. The area is pet-friendly! Be sure to dress for the weather, the water is extremely cold, and you’ll definitely catch some mist but the views make it completely worth it.

Pretty cool falls that you can walk right up to. Short walk along the river and across a tiny bridge then another short walk to the base. Turn around when you arrive as the views of the surrounding mountains are almost as good as the falls themselves. Come early as parking lot fills up quick! Don't follow the signs for the toilets as they don't make sense (they are to the right of the parking lot, by the river). Well worth a visit.

MUST VISIT while you're in Yoho or around 👌🏽 great picnic spots and hiking opportunities! 🚗 Parking can become a problem during peak season/weekends, but not too crazy. Short drive from Emerald Lake ⛵ 🏔️ Try to climb the rocks and get closer to the falls for refreshing mist 💦

A bit of a walk from the car park, but what a view. This is a lovely sight and well worth a visit. From some distance away you can experience a freshness from the spray. It’s a popular place, so the view, whilst lovely, does not deliver the peaceful refreshing moment that it could - but its popular for a reason

This is a MUST DO on your Banff trip. The walk to the falls is paved so very easy to make. If you want to approach the falls, do so in boots because the incline is great and the surface is very loose and rocky. Go early in the morning to beat the crowds.

Had a great time at the gallery. The glacier exhibit of photographs is stunning. The founders' gallery downstairs is a quaint spot to look at paintings. The Banff history exhibits are well done and informative. Book and art shop has a plentiful selection. Good bathrooms. Will have to return for the tour of the site's heritage buildings.

Small, interesting museum in Banff featuring the art of the indigenous people. It also has a heritage section that captures the history related to the local area and its National parks. Entry fee for adults is $15 and the museum can be covered in half an hour.

Not sure why people are saying the museum is too small..... if you actually stop and read all the information you can spend at least 2h there! Most people I saw just walk around not reading a single info panel. Absolutely loved it. Learnt so much about the Rockies history! Definitely recommended if you're in the area.

The indigenous art exhibit was amazing, and the tour of the exhibit was led by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. Also enjoyed the historic houses tour. Wonderful gift shop

Ideal for families or anyone to visit..it was free to enter when I went..staff very good and helpful and polite..2 floors of all the stuffed animals...information on all the displays..no lift to second floor so if you have mobility problems and struggle with stairs it could be a problem..I only did the downstairs because I had a walker with me and couldn't get upstairs..but I enjoyed the level I saw...it can get busy at certain times of the day..definitely worth a visit...

A wonderful gallery museum worth the visit when in Banff.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Five years ago, when my in-laws were members, the Whyte Museum was vibrant and engaging. The Heritage Gallery was full of rich history and information. Today, it’s a completely different—and deeply disappointing—experience. The Heritage Gallery is now empty, the atmosphere feels neglected, and shockingly, there wasn’t a single piece of art connected to the founders. For a place that carries their name, this feels misleading at best. What once felt like a cultural gem now feels like a hollow shell. I left feeling scammed rather than inspired.

This park is absolutely stunning! The color of the lake is breathtaking. There is an easy scenic trail around the lake with beautiful views of the mountains and wildflowers. It can get overcrowded so it’s best to visit early in the morning or after 3 PM for a more peaceful experience. Otherwise, it is hard to get a parking spot. June and July are the ideal months to witness the beauty at its peak. A must-visit for nature lovers!

The emerald lake was picture perfect place to visit! Emerald green lake, green tree, well-maintained and pretty place. The cafe is cute. The service was nice. I went in with my family while it was raining hard outside (which doesn’t impact the beauty of the lake). Apparently, my family didn’t want anything since ut’s close to the dinner time but the server was very nice and still took a good care of us despite we only order one cocktail—rose sangria which was delicious. I would recommend this place for anyone.

This is such a beautiful place. I didn't get much time in this park. But everything I've seen is absolutely stunning. I love how beautiful Mother Nature can be. ( the creator)

One of the absolute best national parks! Emerald Lake with its highly accessible, indescribable beauty. Takkakaw Falls, Natural Bridge…just couldn’t be better. Slightly less crowded than neighboring Banff, but still crowded at popular spots in the summer.

The park was beautiful… at least the bits we could see! Went at the end of May and almost lot of the major attractions were still closed. This seemed unnecessary given the lack of snow at this time of year. Lake O’Hara busses services weren’t running yet and would have had to walk 11km each way to see it. Takakkaw falls were closed entirely. Only really got to see emerald lake which was super busy. I’m sure it would have been a beautiful 5-star park had we been able to see some of it.

So gorgeous. By far the prettiest place on earth I've been in my life. Please visit if you get the chance, visit all four of the neighboring national parks, they're well worth it.

Amazing scenery at this national Park. Dog friendly trails which is great. Parking is limited at Emerald Lake so get there before or after lunch bus crowds. Nature's bridge is fantastic, small parking lot though

The Buffalo Nations Museum is a charming, medium-sized museum that offers a fascinating glimpse into indigenous history. You can expect to spend up to an hour exploring the exhibits. While the displays are engaging, the museum could benefit from more comprehensive information on indigenous cultures and histories. Despite a slightly higher admission fee compared to previous years, the overall experience was good. One notable disappointment was the removal of the Sun Dance exhibit, which I was eager to share with my children. However, the drum room was a big hit, providing an interactive and enjoyable experience for them. The museum shop also deserves a mention for its delightful selection of animal stuffed toys native to Canada, making it a perfect stop for kids.

Beautiful artefacts and certainly worth your support. However, the museum struggles to find a red threat and/or guiding red thread throughout all that it has to offer. Also, the lack of a washroom for guests is a minus.

Visiting the Buffalo Nations Museum was one of the most meaningful parts of our trip to Banff. Tucked away near the Bow River, this beautiful museum offers a powerful and immersive glimpse into the lives, culture, and history of the Indigenous peoples of the Northern Plains and Rockies. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the depth of knowledge and respect shown for Indigenous traditions and ways of life. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, with incredible displays of traditional regalia, beadwork, hunting tools, tipis, and artifacts that speak to the strength, resilience, and beauty of the cultures represented. What stood out most was how personal and grounded everything felt. There was a real sense of storytelling — not just facts and dates, but the voices and histories of people who have called this land home for thousands of years. It’s a museum that invites reflection, respect, and appreciation for cultures that too often go overlooked. The gift shop is also lovely — small but full of meaningful items, many of them made by Indigenous artisans. Whether you’re looking for a thoughtful souvenir or a gift with cultural significance, it’s definitely worth browsing. The location itself couldn’t be more beautiful — nestled in the picturesque town of Banff with the mountains as a backdrop. It’s a peaceful and inspiring place to spend a few hours, and a must-visit for anyone wanting to better understand the land they’re standing on. If you’re in Banff and looking to connect with the deeper roots of the area, don’t miss this museum. It’s not just history — it’s living culture, and it’s told with care, heart, and authenticity.

Visited this museum on a rainy day in Banff. It took about 40 minutes to walk through. Reading the history and seeing the items on display were so interesting. It was also cool to be able to hit the drum. There are 2 videos playing but it's hard to hear with people talking and the drum being played. The gift shop has a large selection and alot of "Made locally in Canada" items which I appreciated. The staff were super friendly. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Great experience with the kids. Even a drum room to try out. Amazing artifacts and history pieces. Highly recommend!

Good resource for information on first nation. Would have been nice to have had some first nation people there to share experiences first hand. Although the videos do tell of the atrocity and slow genocide suffered by the people and children.

Amazing museum about Indigenes culture and life style. Highly recommended

Easy loop trail that goes through woods and alongside a beautiful creek and numerous marshy areas. Lots of great birds including Sora, Swainson's Thrush, Townsend's Warbler and Oregon Juncos.

Took a nice relaxing morning walk here. Level trails are easy to follow. Worth some time

Let’s see…yesterday, rain, snow, slick everywhere. Today, fresh and the perfect hike before a 3Bear lunch followed by Espresso Excellence and Pastry Perfection

Wonderful level hike with plenty of parking, restrooms, and just a block from the Banff sign if you want to take a picture.

Great 20 to 30 minutes walk as you come in from the West entrance to Banff. A few picnic tables at the trail head. Nicely sheltered from winds. Never disappoints.

Perfect path if you have kids. It's a nice flat trail, definitely not stroller friendly as other reviews have stated, there are many exposed roots. It takes about 45 min to an hour, depending on your pace. With plenty of beautiful scenery along the way. There isn't much parking at the trailhead, but you can drive up the street and park in the arena lot

Nice, easy, flat walk in the woods, good for nearly everyone. Not much for scenery, but the creek and ice is nice. We did a little extra and recorded 5KM an 26M of elevation gain. We did not use cleats, but there were a few slippery spots.

My hike through Johnston Canyon was simply fantastic. The route is exceptionally well-maintained, with sturdy catwalks and bridges that allow you to get up close to the incredible scenery without feeling unsafe. The views along the way are spectacular, with the waterfalls thundering through the narrow canyon. ​The real gems of the hike are the fabulous Upper Falls and, for those who continue on, the beautiful Ink Pots. Reaching the Ink Pots is a bit more of a challenge, but the serene, naturally colored pools are a truly unique reward that makes the extra effort completely worth it. ​This hike offers a great physical challenge that is both fun and rewarding, even for those who might not be experienced hikers. It's accessible enough for most, but challenging enough to feel like a real accomplishment. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable and beautiful experience in Banff National Park.

We did the hike from Johnston Canyon all the way to the Inkpots, and it was an unforgettable experience. The trail through the canyon is well-maintained and offers breathtaking views of waterfalls and dramatic rock formations. The catwalks built into the canyon walls make for a unique hiking experience. Once you pass the Upper Falls, the trail becomes quieter and more natural, leading to the serene Inkpots — beautiful turquoise pools bubbling from underground springs, surrounded by open meadows and mountain views. It’s a peaceful spot to rest and soak in the scenery before heading back. The full hike took us about 4–5 hours round trip at a relaxed pace with plenty of photo stops. Highly recommend starting early to beat the crowds at the canyon and enjoy the tranquility of the Inkpots.

It was very nice trail for family walking together. There are a few Fall to see. If you have enough time to climb to top (around 4000m) to ink pot. The view will be beautiful. The parking lot is free. Before you start to climb, make sure you to washroom beside the parking lot.

This trail is such a lovely way to spend a few hours outdoors. The path winds through the canyon with the sound of rushing water always nearby, making it a peaceful and refreshing walk. There are two beautiful waterfalls along the way — one lower and one upper. The full route through the canyon is about 5.5 - 6 km, you may choose to visit just the lower falls for a shorter 2–5 km hike. The upper falls are absolutely worth the extra effort — a rewarding finish to a scenic and relaxing adventure in nature.

This hike was amazing! The parking lot was pretty packed but there were open spots in each row and the bathrooms were clean. We came at around 4 and there were still a LOT of people. The trip has 3 main destinations- lower falls, upper falls, and the ink pods. We went all the way to the I’ll pods and the trip was about 12km(7.5 miles) there and back. The views were breathtaking and even some postcard worthy pictures. Highly recommend

Cycled from Banff to Johnston Canyon. A great ride on an Ebike. Great facilities for parking up your bikes. Excellent toilets at the start. And a cafe and ice cream cart at the start of the track. All important stuff 😄 The walk to lower and upper falls were spectacular. An absolute must do if you're in the area. Walked the Inkpot trail as well. A few good climbs so wear some good footwear and take water. Great forest to walk through, good walking trail and a great place to stop for lunch for your efforts. Well worth walking on to the Inkpots if you have the time, energy, water, and food, to sit and eat once you get there 👍👍 Photos at the Inkpots only. Go see the Lower and Upper Falls for yourself 😊

A good hike especially if weather is cool. Takes about 2 hours return. Slight elevation. Hiked all the way up to the upper falls. Good negative ion with the water fall and river flowing through. (See google map for more info on lower and upper falls)

Amazing bowling and 0.59c wings at happy hour. So affordable and amazing service by Katelyn. It was her first day but it didn’t seem like it. Cool, calm collected and so attentive. Thanks high rollers for a great evening!

In town on our cross-Canadia road trip. Headed into High Rollers for some bowling and beers. Such a blast. Good drinks and our server (aka "Winnipeg") was personable and on top of things. Great dude. Oh, and they have great OG video game options. Best to book bowling in advance. Recommend.

This place was awesome! Hannah took care of us at the bar and we had a great time. Make sure you hit up happy hour for $5 pints!

I visited because it was Wing Night with my colleagues. I loved that the wing was fresh and crisp! I had a great time.

My partner and I came for dinner and bowling last Friday night. I didn’t get out waitresses name but she was absolutely lovely and she looked after us from dinner over to our bowling. Great food, definitely a loud environment but that’s to be expected. Definitely want to return when we come back! :)

Wanted to go bowling but couldn't due to it being busy 😭, but the staff was very nice and the building looked amazing, I love the retro look

Gave it a 4 because it’s not a place to come if you take bowling seriously. It’s a super fun place to party, dance, drink, play games, but if you’re a bowler this isn’t the place to come if you’re used to curving the ball and going for high scores. The pins are attached to strings. The ball return ramp is too close to the lane, and the lanes probably haven’t had a machine move over them in years. This is a great place to party, get drunk and have a good time but if you come here to specifically bowl then this isn’t the pace for you.

The view from the lookout is unbelievable. The chairlift ride up is a quick 8 or so minutes. The viewpoint is relaxing and extremely quiet as not many people seem to know about this or do it. It's half the price of the Banff gondola and far less crowded. It's a great use of the place in the summer off season. You really can't beat the view up here

A wonderful spot with stunning mountain views — definitely a must-visit, especially if you have a car! The scenery is absolutely breathtaking and worth the drive.

We took the Sightseeing Chairlift (summer only) to reach the viewpoint. The view overlooking Banff Village is genuinely fantastic. However, it was a bit disappointing that there are no accessible hiking trails leading from the drop-off point—the only activity available is visiting the on-site bistro.

We did the Via Ferrata 4.5-5h tour with Alex. You really can't beat the incredible views and the fun times up top! Alex was a great guide for our first ever via Ferrara and really made our experience memorable. He dealt with our chattiness for the entire tour and most importantly gave us tips and tricks along the way keeping us super safe. I think the snacks along the way helped lol. (Alexis, the crazy Revy local (Misha lol) hopes you make it to the top of all of those hikes we spoke about and have the best time! Cheers! )

The chairlift to the Cliffhouse Bistro was nice. All the employees were VERY polite & had great work ethics. Our lunch was very good with a great view. Highly recommend. W & M Myers Ukiah,Ca. USA

This place is giving you one of the most amazing experiences of chairlifts! Beautiful place Unique nature Feels like flying We enjoyed a lot Driving up there was fantastic. Staff were friendly and kind too!

We did the Via Ferrata Alpinist hike with Jordyn and it was such an incredible experience! We did the climb with 2 other pairs who had never done a climbing experience before and it was a great time for first-time climbers. Such beautiful and breathtaking views and an altogether super fun time. I didn't want it to end! We loved our guide and felt very safe and educated on the climbing aspects and the area!!!

The Natural Bridge in British Columbia is a stunning rock formation carved by the powerful Kicking Horse River. It's fascinating to see how nature has shaped the limestone into a bridge over thousands of years. The rushing water and surrounding forest create a peaceful yet dramatic scene. This quick stop near Field is definitely worth a visit for its unique natural beauty.

Visit: July 2,2025 Very nice place where rocks formed a natural bridge. Good stop area with very good opportunities for nice photos and to enjoy the water views and sounds.

⭐ Beautiful natural bridge formed by the erosion of the Kicking Horse River wearing away softer layers of limestone. So therapeutic to just watch the river flow through. Parking is available.

One of my highlights on the two day tour we took. Each day is different but so beautiful. This kicking horse river is another magical stop and I could stay here and listen to the water for hours!

Natural Bridge is a stunning natural formation that’s definitely worth the visit! The view of the rushing river flowing under the rock arch is mesmerizing. The area is well-maintained with easy walking paths and great spots for photos. Perfect for a quick nature escape and a peaceful moment surrounded by beauty. Highly recommend!

Easy walk to the falls from the parking lot. The paved paths grade in some places may be a challenge for some people but not difficult for most people. There are no fees here.

Stopped here as part of a Rocky Mountaineer Rail tour. This was the bus part of the tour. We had just left Lake Louise and this was our next stop. Natural Bridge is another great example of the beauty of this region. The bridge, the river, and the surrounding area is awe inspiring. What is so striking is how blue all these waters are. Ample parking, signage, and good access for people with all ranges of mobility.
