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. |

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.

They include several private residences, the Canadian Pacific Railway station, and the Cave and Basin hot springs site. The entire walk runs 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). |
