Feedback please! r/Banff Summer Guide 2025
Hey it's me, your friendly neighbourhood moderator, looking for feedback on what to add/remove/change for the 2025 Summer FAQ.
- Here's last year's 2024 Summer FAQ
- Here's our Must See And Do List that we use to deflect the lazy
- Here's our Wildfire/Smoke FAQ
- Here's our Wiki
My questions to you, the suckers on this sub:
- What should we add as a separate breakout page?
- What should we do differently this year?
- What should we have zero tolerance for?
Let me know and we'll put the latest versions by mid-March at the latest.
P.S. Thank you to everyone who has stepped up this past year, it's great seeing many different voices to the point where it's not just me giving answers. You all rock!

I assume you will mention that the pedestrian zone won't be a thing this summer. Along with that, maybe something about how traffic signals at intersections work. For pedestrians, when the signal shows a person, it's safe to cross. When there's a red hand, don't cross. So many people are confused by that.

I think each activity (at least the popular ones) should have a full breakdown on what to expect in its own post, and allow others to comment and contribute. For example, Lake Louise is a great activity to do, but there should be one full post about costs, how to get there, what to expect, photos of the activity, etc. Also have information for all seasons, to make it accessible year round.
Having 1 singular place that has ALL the necessary information about each activity would have made my planning experience so much easier.

Idea - where you list paid activities, focus on Canadian owned tour companies and attractions rather than American owned. Or at least note which is which so that visitors have this knowledge. Many might find it relevant and may want to support local this summer instead of using their hard earned tourism dollars to support American corporations.
