Today take a morning transfer to Banff and explore Banff with passes to the Banff Gondola. The town of Banff, nestled high in the Canadian Rockies is located within Banff National Park. Once “Siding 29” on the Canadian Pacific Railway, the town of Banff was intended to be a tourist town from its very inception. The park’s first superintendent, George Stewart, even oriented the town’s first street so that it offered the best possible view of Cascade Mountain. With easy access to pristine wilderness, outdoor adventures, jaw-dropping landscape, and a vibrant history, there are many places to visit in Banff and Lake Louise. This evening you'll enjoy an evening wildlife safari to seek out Rocky Mountain creatures such as elk, big horn sheep and maybe even local a grizzly bear or black bear while learning about how the Parks Canada protect these animals in their natural habitat from the many threats to the ecosystem.
