Here are the pitfalls I encountered and travel tips. We stayed at Haven Riviera All Inclusive, which I found excellent. The restaurants had great food. Spent the first three days at the resort, planning a self-drive trip to Chichen Itza on the final day. Rented a car from Enterprise near the airport, selecting only this ~USD$20 insurance. Mexico can be risky; self-driving seems unwise, but I’m adventurous. https://kyxie.me/en/blog/tour/algonquin/ Mon, 30 Sep 2024 14:03:55 -0400 https://kyxie.me/en/blog/tour/algonquin/ Useful Links Real-time fall foliage report and historical data Reserve tickets: $21 per day, can book 5 days in advance Ontario fall color map Algonquin Park map Recommended Attractions Nearby: Norman Bethune’s Birthplace Lions Lookout Dorset Lookout Tower: Appears to have admission fee Big Bend Lookout Highway 60 Corridor: 13.8km: Hardwood Lookout Trail: Loop (1.61km, 85m, 34min).

Discovered Banff tourism has many pitfalls! Here’s a detailed log with travel tips. Important notes: Banff entry requires a National Park Pass, CAD$22/day, valid until 4 PM next day. We picked up our rental Sep 19 evening at 5 PM. At the checkpoint between Canmore and Banff (left lane sells tickets, right lane bypasses), we bought a Sep 20 pass online.
