Today is your day Boomer! Just got back from a camping trip in the Rockies with a mix of good and bad news. The hiking/camping weather in mid-September was outstanding with most days sunny and in the low 20's, but a chilly 2 degrees at night! Boomers, keep that in mind when tenting and choosing a suitable sleeping bag. I was happy to have a well-insulated travel trailer with a propane furnace! Expect overflowing sites at this time of year....places like Emerald Lake and Takaka Falls were just jammed with people and parking was extremely scarce. I recommend early morning or late afternoon visit times if you are heading to these places; that includes Lake Louise and downtown Banff. By the way, Banff was just a zoo of people; one example was camping; there were three campgrounds at Banff with about 1000 spots and we barely got one on a non-weekend night! There were people everywhere.....especially tourists. You can really see the economic generator that tourism is when you go to the Rockies. Expect a lot of RVs, rental cars, camera spots, and slow hikers and walkers. Boomers, it is beautiful....see picture, but it is an over-populated zone of recreation. Happy camping....cheers!
