history with views - The Banff historical walk is a beautiful walk around the Cave and Basin area of Banff. Our guide Jacob, a Banff native, showed up dressed in historic gear from the era the park was founded (1885). From the start he gave us an option of two tour routes, one with muddy trails, one on mostly paved trails. We went with the muddy trails, but it was appreciated that he gave us a choice. The tour was very interesting giving a history of the founding of Canada’s first National Park, the city of Banff, and the ties to railroads, some questionable characters, and Victorian tourism. The tour was sprinkled with humor, history, plant and animal info, and some ecological facts. Highly recommend if you are interested in history presented with humor with breathtaking views.

Really enjoyed listening... - Really enjoyed listening to Jacob talk. Hearing the stories from a local is really a treat. I was not expecting to go out of town, but found it all to be very educational.
