Banff National Park was first conceptualized after hot springs were “discovered” by a pair of railway workers. Since its inception Banff National Park has remained one of the world’s most beautiful and iconic protected areas on the planet. Wildlife is often seen in and around the town.
We tour to the must-see sites and viewpoints, man-made and natural, in and around the Town of Banff. This driving loop tour can be enjoyed in about 3 hours, but allow more time to stop and enjoy the dozen or so attractions and excellent viewpoints along the way.
Expect to spend a couple of hours each if visiting Banff Gondola and the Lake Minnewanka Cruise.
Banff Ave, Downtown Banff.
Allow 1/2 day to a full day for this suggested itinerary.
