BANFF ALBERTA


Located in Banff National Park, the Town of Banff is well known for the magnificent beauty found in the surrounding mountain vistas, the opportunity for outdoor adventure through skiing, rock climbing, and cycling, world-class accommodations and restaurants, and limitless shopping opportunities. Banff's history dates back to the late 1800's when the Transcontinental railroad was cut through the Rocky Mountains, when the town began as a service centre for tourists visiting the National Park. Famous attractions include the historic Banff Springs Hotel, the healing waters of the Upper Hot Springs, and the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies.
