She's right, CA's Aspen is beautiful surrounded by the Rocky Mountains

I visited Banff, one of Canada's most famous ski towns, during offseason. I loved seeing the Rocky Mountains, but I can't imagine it with more crowds and snow.

I stopped by the popular spot in early May during the off-season while on a trip to Alberta, a province about four hours away. I imagine Banff is much trickier to navigate during peak season in the summer (June to August) or winter's ski season (December to March).

But while I was there, I found Banff to be mostly peacefully quiet but with full parking lots and crowds of tourists in some areas. Here's what it was like.

I’m sure that drive to Banff or the surrounding area was spectacular. A cross country road trip in Canada would be an adventure.
