“The Citadel Pass hike was awesome. Much thinner crowds than the rest of Banff, likely due to the cost of the gondola ride up. Completely worth it. The views were incredible, and the alpine meadows were a fascinating landscape. Take the Standish Chairlift up to the viewpoint then hike down the back side to rejoin the Citadel Pass trail. It was very cold at the start when we went (Aug 25), but turned comfortably cool later on -- perfect hiking weather. On a sunny day it could be hot with the lack of shade in the meadows, so bring layers!”

“A small museum in Banff about the history of the city and its inhabitants. There are two main spaces, one on the left, which is a gallery of contemporary artists of the area. And the main one on the right about the history of the city.”

“This is a very welcoming parish with a fascinating history. The design incorporates local elements, such as Lake Louise in one stained glass window, a nativity scene in another window with elk, moose, etc. and carved stations of the cross in which the artist included himself (wearing glasses!).”

“Absolutely breathtaking panoramic view of the mountains and city of Banff. I believe it was the visitors building that there was a girl named "Molly" who was extremely helpful at giving us directions to the chairlift and restaurant up on the mountain top. The guys running the chairlift and the 3 men and 1 woman working on top of the moutain (building stairs) were very pleasant and hardworking. Overall, we found the staff really stood out and made our experience more memorable. I posted a few pics of the staff we're talking about.”

“One of the more unique stores in Banff. The decor is very interesting to look at, items are priced cheaper than the souvenir stores on the main strip. Staff are friendly, there's free parking in front and around the store, and of course there's the famous Merman :)”

“We’ll worth the time to visit, especially on a rainy day. Decent available free parking. Displays are well designed. Lots of interesting artifacts. Can easily spend 30 minutes to over an hour there. Museum also includes a gift shop, which can be entered without the museum admission.”
Address: Cave Ave, Banff, AB T1L 1K2, Canada
“Beautiful gardens that offer plenty of shaded grass for a picnic. Parking is very limited so you might want to drop your group off and park elsewhere. The gardens and ponds are easy to walk in about 10-15 minutes on a leisure stroll; lots or stairs though.”

“E Eleanor G. Luxton, the daughter of Banff and Bow Valley pioneers, Norman K. Luxton and Georgina McDougall Luxton, established the Eleanor Luxton Historical Foundation in May 1995 with a mandate to preserve the rich history of Banff and the Bow Valley. The foundation fosters public awareness of the history of Canada’s first National Park and the Luxton and McDougall families’ influence and integral part in the development of the vibrant community, culture and built history that exists within Banff to this day.

The Luxton home is an accredited Alberta museum operated by the Luxton Foundation. The interior of the home has been upheld as Ms. Luxton left it, presenting the lives of the three family members and the evolution of a Banff lifestyle over nine decades. In addition, the Foundation supports scholarships in Western Canadian history at the University of Alberta and the University of Calgary. It provides grants to non-profit conservation and environmental organizations like Bison Belong, and carries out other initiatives that contribute to maintaining Eleanor’s wish to keep the rich history of Banff and the Luxton legacy alive. about1.jpg Our Mission The Eleanor Luxton Historical Foundation is focused on the preservation and promotion of the history, culture and ecology of the Banff area, the Bow Valley and Western Canada.

“Such a beautiful experience! What a clever idea, adding art along the trail! Respectable distance, beautiful for pictures and the sound of waterfall, what a blessing! If you're in Banff, I highly recommend this natural beauty! Stay hydrated and take a drink along 🙂”

“Tickets were overpriced even for our one way trip down the mountain, over 80 CAD for two people. There are good facilities at the top however make sure you have small change as they do not accept 100 CAD bills. Apart from this, well worth the visit. Would recommend to hike up the mountain, worth the effort. For us, best to buy the tickets in advanced as they are limited.”

“Great fenced in dog park. The only issue is the town built it on top of the old dump which means sometimes glass pokes through in the far right corner. To the town's credit they send in workers pretty regularly to check for more glass. I have been going here regularly since it opened and have luckily had no issues with my pup. Just be careful and enjoy the mountain views.”
