We were able to walk here from the hotel.

Super cool to go inside the cave (costs only a few dollars). There is a trail that goes up to the cave opening from above too. Another trail goes down to the marshy area where you can see tiny fish, snakes, and birds.

4/5 - Good

Unessential unless you are a hard-core watersnail nerd, but you can see multiple species of (alien) tropical fish living in the hot spring-fed marsh here, and this is also where you can find one of the best wildlife trails there is (don't leave without bear spray, available at the gift center for 50 dollars).

There are several species of (alien) tropical fish living in the hot spring-fed marshes here. The center itself is fairly modest, but there is a fantastic trail that starts here (bear spray available at the gift shop!).

Sundance Canyon Loop hike was spectacular! Our favorite in the Banff / Lake Louise area.
