Yoho

September 23, 2024

Overall, the hotel has been a disappointment and expected more from a Marriott Autograph Collection hotel. I went to order two medium coffees and was told that they ran out of medium cups and had to order a large or a small.  I was told that they were out of conditioner for your hair, the housekeepers stopped putting washcloths in the room after the first day. The night before, we stopped at the firepit to get a S’more, the ingredients had all been set out but there wasn’t a fire.

We decided to stop in Banff for breakfast.  The first restaurant we saw had a great menu posted at the door, we gave it a try and really loved it.  I had the Grilled Cheese Benedict and this made my morning!

After breakfast we headed to Yoho National Park.  Lake Louise and Lake Moraine always show up when you are looking at tours – they also tend to be more crowded.  I would argue, that Lake Johnson and what I saw in the Yoho National park was almost as good but without the crowds.

Our first stop was Wapto falls.  Unfortunately, google maps took us to a spot where we could view the falls from a distance.  I did some more searching and found where we needed to turn off the freeway if we wanted to hike to the falls.  It was a pretty hike which took close to two hours round trip.  Although we could have gotten closer to the falls, it involved steep hills, so I opted to the not so close views.
