This is a wonderfully quiet and very comfortable place ideally located between the picturesque town of Canmore and the historic village of Banff. The traffic of highway 1 will not awaken or bother you; it isn’t noticeable. The amenities of Canmore such as grocery stores, hardware stores, etc. keep everything handy. The culture of Banff beings you into a little different world where many languages will be heard. And the best part of it is the hiking is free! We hiked along Lake Minnewanka up towards Stewart Canyon; strolled near powerful Bow Falls and walked along the quiet Banff Springs Golf Course, and also drove to the upper hot springs as well as to the lower hot springs. Of course we stopped at a few shops in downtown Banff after we enjoyed the gardens at National Park administration grounds. I highly recommend this unit.
