Your tour begins outside the Cave and Basin National Historic Site. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the amazing underground hot springs that first put Banff on the map.

Next, pay a visit to a free museum documenting the internment camps that operated nearby during the First World War. Then begin walking along the easy, gorgeous Marsh Loop Trail. As you stroll, you’ll hear about the discovery of Banff’s famous hot springs and the dramatic legal battles that ensued. You’ll also learn how the discovery eventually led to the creation of Canada’s first national park.

Plus, hear about an ancient superstition about bears which forever changed the way we refer to them. Your walk will follow the bank of the Bow River, offering plenty of amazing views as you hear about even more of Banff’s fascinating history.

Finally, you’ll return to the parking area where you began. Your tour concludes here.
