You really should, their coffee is crap !

BS

Tim Hortons did make the effort to set up shop in Afghanistan so Canadian troops could have a taste of home while serving. My daughter, who was serving in the US Army as a blackhawk pilot, was deployed out of Ft. Drum in New York. It was common for them to travel up to Kingston just to go to Tim Hortons and have coffee. In Afghanistan, she was in Bagram while the Tim Hortons was in Khandahar so she didn't get to visit much. Ted, from Whitehorse, and his congregation sent them a Tim Hortons coffee maker and some coffee to help make up for it and she said the company loved it.
Personally, I don't like TH coffee all that much but I do like their chili. GD

When I got a Tim Card for the first time, remember there was a statement on the website, good for any TH locations, excluding Khandahar...LOL Didn't cramp my style too much. That was before all of the heavy corporate maneuvering, use of the card has been tampered quite a bit.

Now, while the card is still in use, a smart phone app let's you pay with a QR code, among many other things, including pre-ordering, paying for take-outs, etc.

Had TH coffee a couple years ago on a visit to Newfoundland. It was okay.

Local people told me it used to be better but when I asked them when that was it seems like they were remembering a time when TH was all there was.

Try Jasper area. We were there a few years ago. As for the trails, once you're off the "paved" easy sections and on something a little more physical, the arsehole, ignorant and sometimes rude tourists disappear. Mount Edith Cavell trail was awesome! Wilcox Pass trail looks good too.

If I had looked at TH as a place to get coffee I might not have complained. I was looking for lunch- I guess I had no idea what it was all about. As a lunch place, it blows. I didn't get coffee so can't comment there.

I enjoyed the whole Banff thing but I would prefer the next trip to be in an area less quarantined.

Made the trip to Yoho, jasper, banf last august. Really beautiful country! Wish we had had more time. We hiked burgess pass and paget peak. Woukd love to spend the summer their peakbagging.
