A community portal about Banff National Park with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Banff National Park is Canada's oldest national park, established in 1885, in the Canadian Rockies. The park, located 120 kilometres west of Calgary in the province of Alberta, encompasses 6,641 square kilometres of mountainous terrain, with numerous glaciers and ice fields, dense coniferous forest, and alpine landscapes. The Icefields Parkway extends from Lake Louise, connecting to Jasper National Park in the north. Provincial forests and Yoho National Park are neighbours to the west, while Kootenay National Park is located to the south and Kananaskis Country to the southeast. The main commercial centre of the park is the town of Banff, in the Bow River valley.

I stumbled upon Banff Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies yesterday.
I was attracted by the old fashioned looks of the resort. It felt solid, with deep roots, traditional in a way. You can still have a taste of luxury if you stay at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, an imposing hotel.
The city was founded around its hot springs which would have been a great way to cure my recent cold which thankfully is now abating.
Even in the winter, the snow does not stop some residents from riding...
