• Fairmont Banff Springs - This iconic hotel was visited by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during their 1939 royal tour of Canada. From 1942 to 1945, the hotel was closed to allocate labor for the war effort. In 1968, the building was winterized, enabling year-round operation. The hotel underwent several renovations in the latter half of the 20th century, including one in 1971 and another for the 1988 Winter Olympics. The hotel division of Canadian Pacific Railway was rebranded as Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, adopting the name from an American company acquired in 1999. Consequently, the hotel’s name was changed to Fairmont Banff Springs. In 2006, seven Fairmont hotels, including Banff Springs, were sold to Oxford Properties, but Fairmont Hotels and Resorts continues to manage the resort. The hotel resembles a Scottish Castle.

• Hoodoos Viewpoint - Hoodoos vary in size from the height of an average person to heights exceeding a 10-story building. Their shapes are influenced by the erosional patterns of alternating hard and softer rock layers. Minerals deposited within different rock types can cause hoodoos to display various colors throughout their height.

In certain regions of western North America, these rocky structures are called hoodoos. The name originates from Hoodoo spirituality, where certain natural forms are believed to possess powers. By the late 19th century, this spirituality became associated with a monster. Before the English name, these formations were the source of many Native American legends, considered petrified remains of ancient beings punished for misbehavior.

Fall is also a wonderful time to visit, with the yellow Aspen trees gracing Banff with their presence. This is the last stop before heading back to Calgary, where the tour concludes.
