UPDATED*** banff national park - hike recommendations

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by IX_THoR_XI, May 17, 2016.

  1. I'm looking at some day hikes in banff national park in Canada - I'm hoping to to get to go on all of them but it's possible a trail might b closed due to bear activity or weather.

    - rockbound lake
    - Cory pass
    - bourgeau mt
    - Caldron lake
    - giant steps
    - iceberg lake




    Let me know if...

    - If you think I'm missing out on a great hike that I didn't list on this post. I usually prefer moderate to strenuous day hikes with awesome views

    - if I should axe a particular hike cuz you think a hike might b redundant/too similar

    - or if you've done one of these hikes, your experience with it

    Ummm
    - Hit gym 6/7 days a week
    - run 21-28 miles a week and I regularly run 14 milers
    - the hardest hike I've done is half dome but I regularly hike strenuous hikes in parks




    I think I'm fit
