Travel Guide

Heading eastbound on TransCanada 1 just before Banff, I was stuck by the beauty of the afternoon sun lighting up the mountains.  I pulled off at the Hwy 93 exit and climbed up a rickety billboard scaffold (not recommended) to capture this shot.

Just over the Bow River from the Castle Mountain Chalets,  there is this fantastic view of Castle Mountain. Snowy mountains on cold clear skies are the best!

The rooms are very worn and were not particularly clean. There was some sort of water damage in our hallway with an active leak through the ceiling. The amenities made up for the rooms... the pool was great for all of us and the indoor climber was a great activity for my 8 year old and his friends. ...

Sound of train whistle is quaint but not good for light sleepers.

3/5 - Okay

The place was decent but based on other reviews, I was expecting it to be more wonderful. The staff did give us a discount because of the mouse in the cabin - which we appreciated.
