Parks Canada is warning that summer 2023 is set to be the busiest season ever in Banff National Park, urging visitors to plan ahead to avoid parking issues. The agency had to temporarily restrict access to Lake Louise Drive due to overwhelming traffic during the August long weekend. The increased traffic is seen across the park, with popular sites such as Lake Minnewanka and Johnston Canyon also overcrowded. The influx of visitors is attributed to Calgary's population growth, global attention, and the influence of social media. Visitors are encouraged to explore other attractions in the area and consider shoulder season or winter travel dates.
