Hiking

The Tunnel Mountain Trail is one of the oldest, but certainly one of the best trails in Banff National Park. The path is well preserved, easy to reach and therefore ideal for tourists. A wonderful panoramic view of the city, the Bow Valley and Mount Rundle make the trail the perfect introductory tour to get to know the region. Incidentally, the mountain was given the name "Tunnel Mountain" in the 19th century when the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) wanted to build a tunnel through the mountain in 1882. Although the plans were quickly rejected, the name remained the mountain preserved.
