Turquoise lakes, glaciers, elk on the road and peaks in every direction: Banff and the Canadian Rockies are ridiculously photogenic. We drove from Vancouver through the Okanagan and Revelstoke to Banff, then up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper, and wrote it all up in our Canadian Rockies road trip guide.
Here are over 100 Banff captions for Instagram: short ones, funny ones, lake captions, mountain and hiking captions, Icefields Parkway and Jasper captions, winter and ski captions and hot spring captions, plus emojis and hashtags.
