Banff National Park

Banff Gondola

 

The Village of Banff down in the valley, with the Tunnel Mountain in the center here. Around there is mountain peaks everywhere. Banff National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has a lot of them. Banff Town itself is already at an altiture of 1400 metres. Cascade Maountain, above the town here, reaches 2998 m.

 

In the background the Lake Minnewanka.

 

Banff itself has a few thousands inhabitants. And quite a few tourists, from it position as a gateway to the Canadian Rockies. There can't be so many more, as the town is not allowed to grow beyond it's current borders.
