The Banff Gondola


Town of Banff and Cascade Mountain


Today we went up Sulfur Mountain by the Banff gondola.  A strenuous hiking trail switches back and forth up the mountain for 3.5 miles, gaining 2300 feet of elevation.  If you make it to the top on your own power, Banff gives you a free ride back down.  Or you can pay $35 and take the gondola straight up to the 7400 ft. summit.  Total time one way: 8 minutes.  Viewing decks along the ridgeline give stunning views of the town of Banff and endless mountains.
