A further day in Banff gives you more time to relax and take in your majestic surroundings. For that purpose, there’s no better place than the Banff Upper Hotel Springs, Canada's highest thermal mineral springs with a preserved 1930s bathhouse. Relaxing in the outdoor pool among the jagged peaks of Rundle and Cascade Mountains is a magical experience that has drawn visitors to Banff since 1886.
