Accessing vantage points at Banff?

I've seen some amazing photos from Banff and wondering how accessible is Banff to someone that has never been there?  Are you allowed to go where you want there?

You can, but honestly I would recommend just going on a tour or workshop.  The time it will take you trying to find the good spots, will be time you could be on location already, getting the good shots.  Plus from a safety standpoint.

There are open trails all over the place up there.   Free to roam.  However if you are up there on limited time, you can save the explorations, and get a help from local, or take a tour, or take a workshop that will get on on key spots quicker, allowing you to capture more while you are there.

Maybe its just me, I wouldn't waste my money on a guided tour. Google Earth the place, you'll see tons of great shots right off the road, or a short hike on a trail. Besides, you want your own photos right? Not some tour leader's?

Why so serious?

No, flying drones in parks is banned just like in National parks in US.
