Terms of Service

The rules of the road for using BanffBound. Last updated: 2026-05-25.

Affiliate disclosure

BanffBound participates in affiliate programmes and earns commission from qualifying purchases. In accordance with the FTC Endorsement Guidelines (US) and ASA CAP Code (UK), we disclose the following:

  • We are an Expedia affiliate. Links to hotels, flights, and vacation rentals on Expedia and VRBO may earn us a commission when you make a booking.
  • We are a GetYourGuide partner. Links to tours and activities may earn us a commission on bookings.

These commissions come at no extra cost to you — the price you pay is identical whether you use our links or go directly. Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, ratings, or recommendations. We recommend only products and services we believe are genuinely useful for visitors to Banff.

For more detail on how we create content, see our Editorial Policy.

Content accuracy

We strive to keep all information on BanffBound accurate and up to date, but travel information changes frequently. Prices, opening hours, trail conditions, weather, and availability are subject to change without notice.

BanffBound is for informational purposes only. You should always verify critical details — especially relating to safety, weather conditions, trail closures, and park regulations — with official sources such as Parks Canada before making travel decisions.

We display last-updated dates on our guides so you can assess how current the information is. If you spot an error, please let us know.

Outdoor activities disclaimer

Banff National Park involves real wilderness with real risks. Hiking, skiing, scrambling, paddling, and other outdoor activities carry inherent dangers including but not limited to wildlife encounters, avalanches, rockfall, rapidly changing weather, altitude effects, and river hazards.

BanffBound provides general guidance and trail information, but we are not a substitute for professional instruction, guide services, or your own judgement. Always assess conditions on the ground, carry appropriate safety equipment, and know your limits. We are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your use of information on this site.

External links

BanffBound links to third-party websites including booking platforms, government resources, tour operators, and local businesses. We provide these links for convenience and reference. We don't control and aren't responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of external sites.
