Banff, Canada
City introduction
Turquoise lakes under glaciers — Canada's Rocky Mountain postcard. Banff is the Rockies at full saturation: Lake Louise's turquoise water, Moraine Lake's Valley of the Ten Peaks, Johnston Canyon's catwalks, Sulphur Mountain's gondola, and grizzlies from the safety of the highway. Winter turns it into a ski-and-ice-walk town.
