I went up to Banff with my daughter and her family last year. She and I limited our hiking to the Bow Falls and the hot springs near the base of Sulphur Mountain, but her husband and one of their sons completed the rather more challenging C-Level Cirque trail. This 9.3-km out-and-back trail takes an average of 4 h 18 min to complete.
They were warned that there were bears in
the area – but their only bear encounter was on their phone, which showed a
motion-activated video feed from their cabin near Calgary. They sent us this still from the video.
