If you're looking for a place to go on your next vacation, Banff National Park is the perfect destination. The park has so much to offer in terms of things to do and places to visit that it can be hard to choose where you want to start! Here are just three amazing attractions: Takakkaw Falls, Sulphur Mountain, and Johnston Canyon. ##1. Banff Gondola The Banff Gondola is a fun way to get an aerial view of Mount Rundle and Sulphur Mountain. The gondola starts at Cascade Gardens near Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park. Visitors can take in the scenery from three levels or ride up and down for 800 meters (a quarter-mile) on level ground. It's also possible to hike up alongside the gondola's tracks for more perspective on different parts of Banff National Park without going all the way to Sulphur Mountain! ##2. Moraine Lake This beautiful lake nestled in the mountains is best known for its appearance on the back of the Canadian dollar bill. The mountains around the lake are a beautiful backdrop, and visitors might spot wildlife in the water or hillsides. The best way to experience Moraine Lake is by canoeing across it! Visitors may rent canoes from Banff National Park's MacKenzie Avenue location for $30/hour (cash only), or they can bring their own boat. There are no motors allowed at this site, so paddling must be done using human power alone. Visitors should note an additional fee of $15 per hour if they wish to use one of Banff National Park's picnic tables while waiting for their rental time slot. If you love nature, then Moraine Lake is your destination!! ##3. Icefields Parkway The Icefields Parkway is a beautiful, scenic route that connects Banff National Park to Jasper National Park. Along the way, visitors will find dramatic landscapes of mountains and lakes against a backdrop of snow-capped peaks in wintertime or lush green valleys in summer. The drive can be completed either northbound from Banff National Park through Jasper (a longer but more varied time) or southbound from Jasper towards Banff (faster but less diverse). Either direction has its pros and cons: there's no wrong answer! Banff Townsite offers two historic hotels if you're looking for accommodations close to the park - Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Hotel & Bungalows ($$$$) and Rimrock Resort Hotel ($) ##4. Johnston Canyon Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park's most popular attraction, with visitors from all over the world coming to see its deep-blue pools and waterfalls. The hiking trail starts at an elevation of about 600 meters (1980 ft) above sea level and takes you up a series of stairs before giving way to steep switchbacks that lead down into the canyon. You'll feel like you're walking through something out of Lord Of The Rings as it winds around corners, descends through crevices in the rock, and crosses rushing waters on bridges made from fallen logs. The hike isn't easy - there are almost 900 steps in total! But once you reach Johnston Creek at its bottom after 45 minutes or so. ##5.Serenity at Lake Louise Lake Louise is one of the most popular destinations in Banff National Park. With its turquoise waters and surrounding snow-capped mountains, it's no wonder that this lake has been on so many postcards over the years. The beaches at Lake Louise are some of the busiest around, but for those who want to escape from crowds, there is a trail leading up toward Serenity Ridge - which takes you away from all the hubbub into solitude. That said, if you're looking for peace and quiet, make sure not to come too early: just like with any other place in Banff National Park during summertime, parking spaces start filling up early as visitors line up before dawn for their chance at getting out onto a beach
