Moraine Lake is located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. This was filmed in July 2014. Banff on a budget: Banff has many campgrounds in various places throughout the park. Campsites can run as little as under $30 per night, making Banff affordable to visit. It is about a five hour drive north of the Canadian/USA border, via Idaho. Generally speaking, just about everything else is more expensive in Canada, so it is important to bring your own food, drink, and camping gear (no fruit, veg or plant items unless they are canned). If your camera gear needs charging while there, (and you are staying in a campground), go to downtown Banff where there are camera shops where they will charge your camera batteries for a minimal fee. The Border guards do not allow weapons such as guns to be transported over the border into Canada. They do however allow bear pepper spray. It is recommended by most experts, that if you plan to hike in the outback of Banff or Jasper (farther north) that you do bring bear pepper spray. The best time of year to visit if you do not mind crowds (in the popular spots) is July and August. The second half of June can be very nice, with less crowds, but runs a slightly greater risk of rain and cloudy weather. September is the same, but Sep or June are worth the risk, if you are prepared for possible inclement weather Oh, regarding the border, last but no least fyi, you will be required to show your passport. Don't leave home without it.
