Description:
AIRPORT - YBA. In a mere 8 minutes, visitors are whisked to the summit of this 7500 ft mountain, where they have a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside. Several observation platforms provide vantage points for the area, and a boardwalk runs along the summit for those who want to explore a bit. A large observatory houses several restaurants, and a gift shop sells souvenirs and film. Enjoy the sights from the comfort of the building, or venture out into the fresh air. It's a good idea to bring a coat along to help ward off the chilly temperatures and breezes found at this elevation. You're also likely to encounter local wildlife; just don't approach or feed them. |

Description:
AIRPORT - YBA. From its founding in the late 19th century to its status as a Victorian (and now modern-day) resort, Banff has enjoyed a relatively short but fascinating history. The Banff Heritage Corporation has taken note of many structures and sites that played a major role in the town's heritage and included them in several historical walking tours. They include several private residences, the Canadian Pacific Railway station, and the Cave and Basin hot springs site. The walking tours last about an hour-and-a-half but can be altered at your discretion. For a brochure outlining the route, visit the organization's Town Hall office (address listed above). |
