Banff National Park History |
|
Banff National Park history begins in the fall of 1883 when work gangs of the Canadian Pacific
Railway quickly pushed the rail line westward through the valley of the Bow River, establishing a small work camp, "Siding 29". In time,
Siding 29 unfolded into the town of Banff, in Canada's first National Park.
Siding 29 Lodge cherishes its Banff National
Park history. Located just off Banff Avenue and
walking distance from downtown, Siding 29 Lodge
is a modern counterpart to the "siding" that
existed here decades ago. From its origin as a
place for trains to stop while others passed
through. |
