    60: Visiting Banff & Jasper with a Dog
    May 15 2026

    In this episode, I’m sharing what you need to know before bringing your dog to Banff National Park, Jasper National Park, Canmore and the surrounding area. Banff is a very dog-friendly place in many ways, but there are important rules, trail restrictions, shuttle limitations and hotel policies to understand before you arrive.

    I’ll cover the most important dog rules in Banff, including leash requirements, wildlife safety, where dogs are and aren’t allowed, off-leash dog parks in Banff and Canmore, and how to plan your days when your dog can’t come everywhere.
