Questions about the Banff crowd level
Is Banff busy today?
The score at the top of this page is today's latest reading. It updates a few minutes after every hour, and the chart shows how today compares with a usual Saturday.
How is the score worked out?
Each hour we count people on the sidewalks and crosswalk in one frame from the town's Banff Avenue camera. The count is ranked against all daytime readings and turned into a score from 1 to 10.
Does this cover Lake Louise or Moraine Lake?
No. The reading covers one downtown block of Banff Avenue at Caribou Street. It is a good signal for the townsite, not for the lakes or trailheads.
When is Banff Avenue least busy?
Early mornings and late evenings. See the best time to visit page for every hour of the week.
