    I've been to an Indian restaurant in Banff. My recollection was that it was upstairs along Banff Ave. Fairly small place, but it was good.

    Im not surprised. Lived in banff/canmore for 25yrs but hadnt been through for 10 yrs until last year. A noticeable few spaces had been filled in/developed. It was surreal during the height of covid restrictions in the middle of the night to pick up some equipment. All lit op like disneyland and i saw 2 people on my cruise down banff ave. Just weird , from someone that avoided banff ave and walked the alleys to get anywhere for yrs to avoid the crowds

    Maybe it was the crazy weed cafe in canmore. Canmore has indian food wasnt aware bznff does. In banff i like barpa bills for chicken souvlaki or the barpa burger and chaya japanese restaurant. Canmore itd be crazy weed, iron goat and beamers for coffee and breakfast and go warly and stock up on day old huge healthy muffins and chocolate croisons if theyre early

    Barpa Bills closed a couple of years ago. No point even going to town anymore.

    Damn no more Barpa's. Coulda swore I ate there in November 2019 when I was last there for the Film Fest. It was the highlight of my yearly Banff work trip for the Fest.

    Can’t believe there’s a Barpa’s convo, Andy and Mike were my housemates in University, neither wanted to take over the family business so they sold, too bad.

    Story about families split by the border closure. Interesting quote from a Whitefish business owner regarding the shift in tourism away from party-prone Canadians to a more family-about-town disposition: "It's noticeably non-Canadian. It's a little bit more mellow." Heh.

    Well that's it, I'm blaming you for the closure and not talking them into taking it over.

    Heading up to Shuswap to visit the in laws for the first time in 18 months. My wife is fairly relieved to finally get back up north. Her Canadian accent is even starting to come back a bit. Hopefully the fires in that area will calm down a bit and smoke will clear out with the shift in weather coming.

    Yup, wifey had clear skies in Banff, but their drive to Jasper was too Smokey to see the mountains much. Supposedly one of the most beautiful stretches of highway on the planet….

    You might want to check EmergencyInfoBC before running the gauntlet. Lots of peek-a-boo (now we're open; now we're closed) highways and towns. The interactive map is more or less kept up to date.

    There's also driveBC.ca for highway conditions and cameras.
    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.

    It had been good for a few days but rolled back in Friday night. Not much we can do about it. Hopefully it clears a bit for them while they are here.

    I was talking on the phone to a friend in Kamloops yesterday and he said the smoke is really bad right now.

    They are taking the huge four wheeled buses onto the glacier today, should be fun if it doesn’t crash.

    Terrible day for visibility- thickest smoke we have had in a few weeks. Drove over highwood this morning. Couldn’t see any mtns....snow and rain forecasted for Tuesday. That should clear it out for a bit...

    I recommend The Balkan in Banff for killer Greek food run by a long time local family.

    Hopefully they get a clear day. The glaciers are closest at that point. I always told visitors that'd want to focus their trip on a clear day for the icefields parkway. From LL to Jasper really is the highlight of most visitors trip

    Are there any rad bike-friendly trails between those two points? Thinking about bringing the camper back next year. Or is it all National Park?

    Nothing to exciting in Leduc. I assume they are flying out from Edmonton. If they still have a car they could drive about 30 minutes to the Univesity Botanical Gardens near Devon. It's quite nice.

    It's all National Park on that drive but there are some short detours that are worth it. Nordegg area has some good trails, Banff/Canmore and Jasper have great riding and west of Jasper about an hour (20 minutes from Mt.Robson) is Valemounr and they have a great community run bike park, I am expecting a LeeLau tr on it, he was there this week..

    They drove, I’ll suggest it.
