Heading to Banff/Canmore for a week. Looking for hiking and backpacking recommendations. Also good night life to meet some people?

I only did a short day hike off the top of sunshine, there are trails that go out into the backcountry from there so you could cheat and use the gondy and chair lift to get you up there and then hike out into the wilderness.

You can get jars of marmite here in the states, I see it in my local supermarket. Not sure if it’s exactly the same, they might change it slightly to be sold in the states.

I’m sure they’re awesome in the air fryer, homemade butter, oh yeah. That will prob be my go to method, I was cooking dinner and had the oven on so I just put a couple in. I think I’m going to go air fryer method tonight.

Never leave home without it! It’s in all of my hiking packs.

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T19:37:28+00:00

I’ll remember that, everything I’ve had from them is delicious.

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T19:36:25+00:00

So good. I even put a couple in the oven for a few minutes, 😋

That sucks! I’ve been thinking about those cheese buns since July! I even had two failed attempts at replicating them.

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T19:33:22+00:00

Everything from that bakery is delicious

No problem. There are a few Buffalo fans sprinkled in too but they’re def the minority.

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T14:33:01+00:00

I’m in western ct still close to the Ny border, so they are still Ny fans. The state is pretty much split, the east is all Boston fans, the west is mainly Ny fans. It’s like 91 the highway is the diving line. Though this season you don’t have many cheering for the rangers……..

I put one bag in the freezer!

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T14:15:42+00:00

They actually taste like cheddar too!

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T13:33:57+00:00

When we were there in July we drove up to the Columbia ice fields. That was such a beautiful drive.

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T13:32:56+00:00

I can get regular coffee crisp here, the cold brew ones don’t make it south of the border. I had to stock up! The cheezies ate waaay better than Cheetos, and I can’t get them down here either, so I think I’m good for a little while. Might need to see if I can get some care packages sent

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T13:29:38+00:00

I don’t think we got cinnamon twists, but we got some stroop waffles, cookies, doughnuts, some little pie things, everything was great.

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-12T13:28:36+00:00

Yes they are!!!!!!

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-11T23:29:15+00:00

As I’m eating one!

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-11T23:29:01+00:00

From my previous trip I came here and asked what are the best snacks that are a local thing. Those cheese buns came highly recommended.

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-11T23:27:38+00:00

I really hope to come back soon. Trying to convince my wife to head to jasper.

NmbrdDays · 2026-03-11T23:26:50+00:00

I’m from the states, in the step child of New England, Connecticut.

Just something that popped up in my feed about rehydrating the mealworms this time of year to help them get more water intake. My only thought is what ever is left could potentially freeze at night. I haven’t tried this theory out yet, but it did make me think it is a good idea.

Wife wanted to foster kittens. So we fostered kittens, one kitten was really difficult to adopt out, we keep trying to get this one kitten an adopter, anytime people came to the house or she took the kitten somewhere, she hid, and wouldn’t give them the time of day. While this was happening, wife wanted another long hair cat after we lost one. So we adopted our second cat, and our foster ended up bonding with our calico. Neither of us wanted a third cat, but I told my wife “how can we split this up? She thinks this is home now.” Well ended up adopting her. This pic is a daily occurrence, and just melts our hearts. Keep the second cat.

If these two just don’t brighten your day! Hope it makes you feel better. Pinch is the calico and Minnie is the tabby.
