Woolly Wandering in Banff National Park
Thinking about crossing the border for a hiking
or camping trip this year? Look no further than
Canada's first national park, Banff National
Park, nestled in the Canadian Rockies about an
hour and half west of Calgary. This stunning
outdoor-lover's paradise is a great place to
visit any time of the year. From hiking, camping,
golfing, birdwatching, white water rafting, and
canoeing to skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing
-Banff has any outdoor adventure you crave. Our
Banff adventure began in the early fall when
Summer's warmth had disappeared and the chilly
days and snow where in full force. Winter camping
near Lake Louise was a must. Lucky for us we had
our multiple wool camp blankets and our hammock
camping gear to keep us elevated from the cold,
snowy ground. Due to the dense weave and
high-quality wool, we lined our hammocks with our
warm wool blankets from the Explorer Collection.
High quality winter camping sleeping bags are a
must. After lining the bottom of our hammocks
with gray wool blankets, the top layer consisted
of a heavy wool blanket from the Farmhouse
Collection. We setup wind proof canopies that
surrounded our hammocks before hoping into our
warm wool enclaves to get some sleep. We spent
the next few days exploring Banff National Park.
Our favorite sights to see were the emerald
waters of Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and the
world-renowned Lake Agnes Teahouse. Lake Louise
has the most beautiful emerald blue waters
encapsulated by the soaring Rocky Mountainsand
the elegant Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.
The lakeshore paths are typically pretty crowded
with tourists and photographers. Moraine Lake was
equally as beautiful as Lake Louise, although it
was a bit less crowded. Lastly, the hike to the
Lake Agnes Teahouse is astounding! The moderate
level hike will have you hiking through a
majestic forest passing Mirror Lake and a
waterfall cascading out of Lake Agnes, prior to
arriving at the tea house which overlooks the
crystal clear alpine water of Lake Agnes. Once
you have arrived at this historic tea house, grab
yourself a warm beverage, a sandwich and soup,
and relax before your next adventure. For more
