After having the opportunity to live in Banff in 2015, I was hooked. I have been back 1-2 times per year ever since! I have been obsessed with finding beautiful places, amazing eats, and joyful activities! Now I’m here to share them with you!

Moraine Lake
Alyssa:The most stunning views you will find in the world. This is the number one place for any visitor to stop. It can be hard to access by car in the summer but they run a shuttle bus from Lake Louise. That is the best way to access the lake.

Alyssa:Looking for a bite to eat? This place first opened in 2016 and it was a hit! The food is great and the drinks are great. It is a bit on the pricier side but it is a great stop with a great atmosphere.
