16How To Prepare And Pack For Hiking In Banff National Park
It is important to note that Banff National Park has a lot of snow in both the winter and the spring. That means that the major roads in this area close seasonally. Therefore, the very best time to visit is usually between the middle of June and early October. You will be able to safely and easily access the park at that time.
Here are some things you should have with you on every hike regardless of difficulty level:
- Backpack
- Comfortable, layered clothing
- Bug repellant
- Hiking boots and socks
- Hiking staff/trekking pole
- Map
- Sun/UV protection: hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses
- Trail mix/energy food
- Water bottle or hydration pack and/or water bottles
- Smartphone in waterproof bag/container (You can download Google Maps offline if you lose service)
