Banff

Banff town and Tunnel Mountain in foreground
Please note that this page pertains to the Town of Banff and the immediate vicinity only. Information on Banff park can be found on a separate page of mine, under Banff National Park.

This town has been growing dramatically. With lots of traffic and shops, it has become a bustling town nestled among mountains. Lots to see, lots to do, lots of charm. Some would argue though that there are way too many tourists. If you came for the wilderness, get out of the town as quickly as you can. Luckily, relatively unspoilt parts of the Park can be found not too far away from the townsite.
