Heh heh. You said "Banff" and "Away from Crowds" in the same sentence.. Fail.

I sincerely hope this is not universally true. I hiked in Banff for 11 days in 1978 and stayed a few days in the area just north of Pulsatilla Pass. It remains as probably the most remote spot I have ever visited. There were places east of there even further in and less visited, but I liked Pulsatilla so well I never ventured those extra days further in.
