Due to Covid, we were unable to book any backbcountry sites for our yearly hiking extravaganza. Our fallback was car camping in Banff. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because it forced us to discover car camping, and many of the day hikes near Banff. All of our hikes and biking were EXCELLENT.
