A magnitude 4.4 earthquake struck Banff at 6:30 pm on Saturday night. The quake was 5 km north of Banff and 17.3 km deep. I felt the vibration, but there was no such thing as something falling over and there was no damage.
Over 100 people have been infected in the Banff area. In town, we are calling for caution, such as refraining from going out.
The hurdles to visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are likely to rise.
Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are the two most popular Canadian Rockies viewpoints. However, due to the limited parking lot, it is not possible to secure a space to park the car unless you go out early in the morning. Visiting by rental car is quite difficult.
There is a shuttle bus from Banff, but the shuttle bus in the summer of 2021 will change to a reservation system.
Lake Louise is getting more and more crowded every year, and the hurdles to visit are likely to become higher (Tears shuttle bus reservation is here >>

Until a month ago, the temperature had dropped below -30 degrees Celsius, but today's temperature in Banff is 10 degrees Celsius! I can't wait for spring.
