I would suggest you don't. It was rather cold when I was there in october a few years ago. I would guess there is a fair bit of snow by november...

If you're gonna do it, be prepared. None of this, "oh we'll just man the fuck up" shit. Hypothermia don't give a shit how long your chest hairs are.

Re: Hiking in Banff
The only issue is finding a campground. Most of them close...today.
If you're going backcountry camping, make sure that someone knows where you're headed.
Moutain Equipment Coop has some crazy camping/survival gear. I've never seen another shop that can compare.

Re: Hiking in Banff
I think you should check out some hot springs while your up there.
I go every winter to snowmobile, and I'd have to say the hot springs are very nice

Yeah MEC is truly one of a kind. I've spent hours in their Victoria store just gawking at all the awesome gear they have. |

Re: Hiking in Banff
Sunday is the best party day in Banff. T&A (Tommy's and Auroras), or Tommy's and the Rose & Crown for some live music, makes for a hell of a night.
Double your Money Wednesday's are a blast at Auroras.
The Devil's Gap isn't that fun of a spot, but it's always full of good people. It's the only metal/punk bar in town.
Wild Bill's can be a fun time, especially if there's a concert in town. I think Matt Good and Chris Cornell are going to be up there soon.
The HooDoo is a wicked fun time, but it's just a run of the mill club.

Yeah, the hot spring fountain smells like sulfur; however, that's the only spot that smells like bad eggs. |

Re: Hiking in Banff
So I guess tickets to the Cornell show can only be won through a radio station in Calgary.... FUCK!
Oh well... it's not like it's Soundgarden playing.
I just like partying in Banff.
