  • S Rockies: Mountains for All Travelers Canadian Rockies Slide Show – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster
    Canada’s Rockies: Mountains for All Travelers Canadian Rockies Slide Show – Images by Lee Foster by Lee Foster The magnificence of the Canadian Rockies west of Calgary, with stunning alpine scenery and massive glacial presence, appeals to a wide range of travelers. Imagine yourself in one of several travel scenarios: *Ever the adventurer, you are ferried by helicopter to remote mountain locations, where you spend the day savoring the wildflowers, knowing that few people, beyond an occasional backpacker, have ever set foot on this terrain. As the day progresses, the helicopter returns to move you to several other mountain locations, where you walk for an hour with an expert guide. In the evening the helicopter takes you and your fellow adventurers back to the comforts of a first-class resort. *Ever the student of history, you are on a well-organized motor-coach tour or on your individually planned family car trip to the grand dowagers of hotels–the Fairmont Banff Springs and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise–both relics from the early Canadian Pacific Railway days. Within the labyrinthine layout of these grand- manner hotels, you imagine how you would have arrived, starting in the late 1880s, by rail. *Ever the appreciator of the outdoors, you gaze up at a star-filled sky from your tent or RV in one of the many mountain camps. You commune with the Cree and Blackfoot Indians who preceded you and experienced similar star-bright nights, bracing clean air, and the forest quietness, an antidote to our high-decibel modern world. Canada’s Magnificent Rockies Regardless of your travel style, the Canadian Rockies present all travelers with a shared experience, whether in the remote helicopter-only backcountry of the Bugaboos or along the easily viewed and dazzling wildflower walk at roadside Peyto Lake in Banff Park.

  • Self-Guided Walking Tour of Banff
    The Bow River and Sulphur Mountain Self-Guided Walking Tour of Banff Welcome to the Banff Public Library! This self-guided tour will take you approximately two hours but, with plenty of stops that might pique your interest (including three museums and perhaps a picnic lunch), it could easily be stretched to last an entire day. Library staff can provide you with a street map of Banff to help keep you oriented. Washrooms are available at the Library or just across the road by Banff’s Central Park. Food can be purchased opposite the Whyte Museum at Nesters Market, and of course there are numerous places to eat just off Banff Avenue. Ask the Library staff for their favorite! History and natural history books you might find useful for your tour can be found on our non-fiction shelves. • We recommend The Place of Bows by E.J. Hart (HISTORY – Canada – Banff National Park – HAR), but there are many more concise guides depending on your interests. • For natural history and just about anything else in the Canadian Rockies, Ben Gadd’s Handbook of the Canadian Rockies is the go-to book (SCIENCE – Natural History – GAD). • For local historical characters, go to the back-shelf biographies. Here, for example, you will find Chic Scott’s excellent book Mountain Romantics: The Whytes of Banff (BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY – Whyte). 1 Banff Public Library The Banff Public Library at its current location was founded by Peter and Catharine Whyte in 1962. Peter and Catharine were two of Banff’s most famous artists and philanthropists. Peter was a local boy whose father ran the grocery store on Banff Avenue.
