Other than not so great public transit and Parks Canada shuttles, the parks were beautiful and worth the visit even with the crowds. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A PARKS CANADA PASS! No one checks for…Full review by dprisciak

Banff National Park is truly a piece of heaven on earth, and I can’t find a single negative thing to say about it. The journey to Banff alone is breathtaking, with views that look just as stunning as…Full review by iblameromeo

I do not know for sure and I would check with the park officials in Canada. But having said that there are many "Handicapped" parking spaces that we in the US and Canada honor for handicapped drivers. Even your Rental Car agency may be able to tell you the rules that are followed in Canada concerning handicapped parking and the markers you might need for using those facilities. Do not hesitate to see this area of the world as there is plenty of room to drop off passengers and park if your "tags" are recognized. The Parks officers are very accommodating and I will bet they have a simple solution for you. Everyone there seems very happy to assist travelers. And so many things are seen from the road way from within your vehicle. Viewing areas are well marked for Handicapped accessibility in the park. Bathroom facilities might be a challenge depending on your situation therefore bring what you might need. No places in the park to buy much of anything. Please get the app for your phone called Gypsy App for the canadian Rockies. It was soooo helpful and anyone in your vehicle will be happy to listen to such in-depth knowledge. Its like having a personal travel guide with you in your vehicle. Have a wonderful adventure in the Canadian Rockies!! We loved the sites and they are like nothing you have ever seen before.
Good afternoon! I just read your review as I am planning a trip to Banff/Lake Louise/Jasper for next late August. May I ask where did you stay while exploring BNP? If I can avoid staying in busy, touristy town of Banff, it would be great. Thank you so much!

We stayed out of town for Banff & it was a nice walk in & out of Banff. We where happy at our cheap hotel & was glad that Banff have a few good places to eat. For Lake Louise, we stayed right on the lake at the Chateau & we wanted to spoil ourselves for 2 nights. The beds were lovely & we where glad to have brought our own food in Banff to eat breakfast & dinner. As for lunch we where on outings.
Looking for some advice on paying daily or getting the year pass for park admission. Was wondering where the park gates are. We will be staying in Banff for 4 nights traveling all around to Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise, and such. Then we will be staying between Lake Louise and Jasper. Will we need to go through a gate if we are staying in the park somewhere? Any help appreciated.

The park service will want a pass each day you are in the park (whether you are sight seeing or shopping). For less than a week they recommend the daily pass vs the annual pass. It was odd some days they charged per PERSON in the vehicle other days the charged a flat fee. We had only two in the car so the charge was the same each day either way. A pass purchased on any given day expires at 4pm the next day.
