A walking history tour of Banff National Park is a fascinating exploration of the area's rich cultural and industrial heritage. As the group sets off along the trails, the guide shares insights into the early 1900s when Banff was established as a coal mining town. Participants will learn about the town's bustling community, which supported the mining operations, and hear stories of the miners and their families who lived and worked in this remote area. The walking route often includes stops at key landmarks such as the remnants of the coal loading facilities, which provide a glimpse into the industrial past of Banff. At each stop, the guide may point out artifacts and tell tales of the town’s growth, the challenges faced by its inhabitants, and the eventual decline of the mining industry.
