Summer Family Vacation Idea: Banff

Tuesday May 20, 2008
Banff Alberta - photo courtesy of Travel AlbertaFew towns nestle so snugly in such big, showy scenery: Banff is defined, surrounded, and dominated (in a good way) by mountain peaks.

Summer's the peak season, with hiking, horse-riding, kayaking, and other outdoors fun. Or ride a gondola to ogle the views; soak in the hot springs that gave the town its start; hang out at the classy -- yet family-friendly-- Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. (Banff is an awesome winter destination, too, with three ski resorts.)
