Banff, Alberta

Banff — Hot Springs, Railway & National Park

Banff grew where Indigenous cultural landscapes, railway expansion, hot-spring tourism and federal conservation policy collided. This route connects the Cave and Basin, railway town, museum, administration grounds and grand hotel to show how Canada's first national park was both protected landscape and instrument of development.
