Banff National Park Alberta CanadaAfter my trip East of Alberta towards the Canadian Badlands and visiting the Jurassic side of Canada, my friends & I made our way towards Banff.

The backcountry was exquisitely breathtaking and, although well within reach, seemed untouched.

But once we got out of the car and did a hike up Johnston Canyon and a few other trails, we had the opportunity to see a few scenic overlooks of some major landmarks in the area. 

So, without further ado, enjoy today photo essay as we explore the Canadian Backcountry of Banff and the surrounding vicinity from a locals point of view!
