The Cave and Basin National Historic Site
The Cave and Basin is the site of natural thermal mineral springs, just outside of Banff, around which Canada’s first national park, Banff National Park, was established.
Would be great to go for a dip, but the pool was shut-down in 1996, when it was discovered the Banff Spring Snail was on the verge of extinction. This is the only location in the world were the snail exists. Still tempting to have a soak, but instead enjoyed taking some out of this world pictures.
