One of the most beautiful and serene places is Banff Alberta. There are so many awesome spots to take photos, and it’s not difficult to get good shots either! Here are three of my favorite lava toons to take photos in Banff: 1. The bluest water you will ever see is at Moraine Lake. The lake sits directly below an epic mountain range. The best time to go is early in the morning. There aren’t as many people in the mornings either. If you’re lucky enough to get cloud coverage, hike up above the downed log to get a spectacular view of the valley and lake. 2. Lake Louise is another amazingly blue lake that sits in the park. It is made up of direct glacier runoff. The best time to go for photos is sunset. If conditions are right, you may get an illuminated orange sky that makes perfect photos. 3. Lastly, one of my favorite places, is the town of Banff. It is a beautiful small mountain town, with spectacular views in every direction. The Prince of Wales Hotel sits on the South side of the town and it definitely a must see. #awesomepic #banff #photographyguide #givethanks

The Tower of Babel scramble in Banff National Park is one of the most amazing adventures in the entire park. start at the base of Moraine Lake and climb the steep scree shoot until you pop out into the top. Once you’re at the top you’ll have stunning views of Consolation Lakes on one side and Moraine Lake on the other. Few people ever make it this far!
