Banff National Park, Canada's oldest, was established in 1885, and for many it's the gateway to the Canadian Rockies. The town of Banff and its many hotels serve as an ideal base from which to explore the park and its national park neighbours, Kootenary, Yoho and Jasper, with all wonderful sites and vistas. But take the time and you'll find that Banff has a lot more to offer than just a hotel room. Here are just a few examples to tempt you to spend a little more time exploring the town , its many attractions and rich history. The Cave and Basin National Historic Site, Cave Avenue,\nUpper Hot Springs, Mountain Ave, Banff.\nThe Banff Gondola start life as a small Tea Room operated by John Jaeggi in 1940. Guest's would have to make the long hard hike up to the tea rooms . By the early 1950's John had made plans to build a cable gondola and recieved finacial backing to start the building work. Sulpher Mountain Gondola was officially opened on the 18th July 1959 , Canada's first gondola. With increasing visitor numbers the the summit complex was rebuilt and expanded in 1981.  A stunning ride takes visitors  up to the top of Sulphur Mountain, for the great views of Banff and the Bow Valley. At the top, make the effort to walk across the broadwalk  to Sanson's Peak named after Norman Sanson and check out the old weather station and the site of the Sulpher Mountain Cosmic Ray station ( only the foundations remain )  and more great views. Rest rooms are available at the base station and summit. Spectacular views from a peak restaurant.
