Yelp’s Great Canadian Road Trips: Edmonton to Banff
The summer has finally arrived in Alberta and we are dreaming of a Rocky Mountain road trip! Time for that Great Canadian adventure you’ve been talking about, pack it up and let’s go! Get ready for bear spotting as you cruise through Banff National Park, and prepare to make some tasty pit stops all along the way to take in the flavours of the province.
Fuel Up: Little Brick
Savour the exceptional brunch menu and essential java hit, to get you in gear before hitting the road.
Pit stop: The Donut Mill
You’re just under half way there so time to stop for a sugar high, before continuing the cruise through the prairies. So many donut flavours to satisfy that sweet tooth.
Photo Opp: Banff Gondola
You made it! Time to stretch those legs after the long drive and hike up Sulphur Mountain… or just enjoy the ride and the views from the ski lift 😉
Lunch: Block Kitchen & Bar
Share some plates and Charcuterie board with your companions in the heart of Banff town.
Photo Opp: Lake Louise
A trip to the mountains is not complete without a visit to Lake Louise, hire a kayak and bask in that mountain air.
Treats: Skoki’s Waffle & Frozen Yoghurt
Strolling down Banff Ave? This is the perfect Fro Yo to go!
Dinner and drinks: Park Distillery
Park up at Park Distillery for dinner and drinks. Enjoy the campfire ambience, spirit sampler and BBQ-inspired menu.
