@tea_glee: This has been on my mind and I hoped after last year the Canada Strong Pass would return but some revisions to the way the free passes were distributed….maybe I’m alone in this feeling 🤷🏻♀️
I literally go up to Banff all the time. Just avoid long weekends and go early in the day.

I’ve honestly always felt this way about Banff. It’s wild that it’s even worse now.

See even though I can fly around Canada for pretty cheap for the other people, why is it cheaper to fly out of the country than it is flying our own country of Canada?

It sounds like you think the tourists are coming to Banff regardless of the $25 entry fee? So reinstating it wouldn’t significantly alter the crowds?

Couldn’t agree more. I hate that we can’t enjoy our own nathional park that’s only ah hour from me.

Glad I got to experience those areas before all this crap.
I grew up in Radium. 36 kids in my school. 🤗 500 population... but as soon as we saw the buds growing on the trees our population went to 5000 😳 🤌

It’s always been like that. Always. $25 hasn’t made a difference.

Pretty much all Alberta parks are national parks so getting In is next to impossible as an albertan

I live in Calgary. Spending a weekend in Banff is beyond my affordability unfortunately. What do you mean it’s $500/night during the shoulder seasons?

I’ve lived near Calgary since December 2021 and the amount of times I’ve made it to Banff is 0… because anytime I’ve tried, it’s so full we have to go elsewhere.

Loved taking my kids anytime we felt like it 20 years ago. Stopped going. It’s a circus now.

This is just what living near these areas are like, pass or no pass, anywhere in Canada. It’s busy or you go during non peak times.

Welcome to AB, the park is big. Turing around because there is a line to buy a pass is wild. Buy it online. Steer clear of the main hot spots

We have a family owned condo in Canmore since 1989. Consider it my 2nd home BUT in the summer is a nightmare the last few years. Something needs to change. Glad we aren’t IN the park but the whole area is insane. Have to know the secret hikes ;)

fun fact, exactly 0 dollars of what people pay to enter the park goes to the Jasper municipality, and it's our tax dollars as people making far below a living wage that pay for the watter/sewage/power all those tourists use
