A week in Banff went by in a blur in November 2023. I had the absolute best time, made even more enjoyable by the incredible people I met here. Banff has long been at the top of my list of places to visit in Canada and it did not let me down. I climbed my first mountain, I hiked to Bow Falls, I met up with old friends, I made new friends, and I saw a deer using a pedestrian crossing.
