Banff, CA

I live in Calgary, can give a few tips and places to go.

For food, the Grizzly House along Banff Ave is one of the better places in town, though a bit pricey.
Also take a look at the Banff Springs Hotel, it's pretty amazing.
For Calgary, there's not a whole lot that's exciting, but I may just be saying that because I live here. The better places to check out are along the Bow River in Prince's Island Park, and there's always Heritage Park and Calaway Park.
The best bars and places to eat are along 17th ave or in Kensington. Stephen Ave is also a pretty fun street in the summer.

What are the essential things to do in Banff? I'm only going to be there for about 4 days. Also, where's the best beer?

White water rafting is very fun and there's a bunch of different routes to take, all varying in difficulty and intensity. You can also take a bus ride to see one of the glaciers (forget what it's called) and walk on top of it, also very cool.

Can you go see the glacier (The Columbian Icefields) without the tour bus? Like just by car?

I live in Edmonton and was there a few months ago with some friends. Why are there so many of you kangaroo fuckers over there. >>1265602

You can drive to it and see glaciers the whole drive and then park and walk the toe of the glacier trail. You won't actually get to walk on it but you can walk closer to it
