WHERE MAGIC PEAKS LOOK
DOWN ON VERDANT VALLEYS
AND FAERY FORESTS
Hours before you arrive at Banff you begin to feel the spell of
the Canadian Rockies. Then suddenly the peaks grow taller
and wilder, reminding you of fantastic giant architecture, frosted
with snow. The air grows perceptibly lighter, keener and fresher.
Already you begin to feel the sparkle of living in a rarefied
atmosphere ... far above the din and dust of cities, the heavier
air of lower lands. You are entranced by the whisper of great
spruce forests, growing green and glistening in the rich, rolling
valleys and wandering far up the mountain sides. Your arrival
at Banff is a thing of glory. Up the great courtyard winds your
car to the portals of Banff Springs Hotel, that looks like some
great castle. And a castle it is, in its setting . . . with 600 beautifully appointed guest rooms, each with its own modern bath.
There are suites of metropolitan elegance . . . drawing rooms,
dining rooms and lounges as regal as this mountain kingdom.
At Banff there are two pools. The outdoor one filled with warm, health-giving
sulphur waters . . . and cool, clear fresh
water sparkles in the inside pool. A
spacious lawn adjoining the pool is an
ideal place to get that mountain sun-
tan . . . and fraternize with rew people. ^MsmmK
You'll have a "high" time at Banff
. . . basking on cool green terraces,
splashed with sun ... dipping into the
exhilarating waters of the beautiful
pools ... swinging your racquet on a
fast clay court encircled by mountains ... golfing down the Bow Valley
that winds like a ribbon of green
from Banff's front door! There are
horses to ride . . . and fascinating
mountain trails to explore. With
such thrilling scenery all around and
so many things for every one to do,
f m ,
-"'"-'Mill,
it's no wonder Banff has for years
been the favorite top-of-the-world
vacation spot for smart visitors
from near and far . . . where casual
outdoor togs, feminine frocks and
dinner coats are equally at home all
summer long! A mountain paradise
invites you to mingle invigorating
sports with restful leisure . . . just as
you please! A heavenly haven of
glamour out under the Alpine sun,
and under a silvery mountain moon!
Tennis is another sport that reaches its high peak at Banff
... on fast clay courts with thrilling views on every hand.
Spectators enjoy it, too, in this picturesque setting.
I 3 1 THE BOW VALLEY IS YOUR
FAIRWAY. ... THE CIANT
PEAKS YOUR GALLERY
Every turn of the course reveals new
hazards! And the fairways are like
velvet from green to green! It's the
golfer's dream . . . come true, up on
top of the world!
.^grr If golf is your game then Banff is your vacation spot! A course that's matchless in
beauty and golfing thrills! 300 yards from
Banff Springs Hotel its wide, double fairways begin . . . winding for 6,640 yards
down the verdant Bow Valley, with fascinating views of the silvery Spray and
Bow rivers. It's a course that thrills professionals . . . yet a course even the beginner can play with enjoyment! There are
three sets of tees . . . making, in reality,
three courses . . . long, medium and short.
Its variety of plays, its backdrop of majestic
mountains and spruce forests put zip into
your game! Soft-eyed deer peer out from
the brush to watch you. Interesting new
people for your foursomes and informal
gatherings in Banff's turreted club house at
the end of the eighteenth hole add to the
enjoyment. The tang of the mountain air,
the fragrance of spruce-clad forests combine to make this top-of-the-world golf an
experience you'll never forget.

cold running water, bathrooms, stove
... and chalet close at hand for delight
ful meals and gay companionship.
Two miles of trail were hewn through a vast spruce forest to

as green, as glittering as its name . . . often a mysterious, milky
jade color, typical of the moods of glacier waters! What marvels of scenery you see when motoring down Snow-Peak Avenue
and beyond! The foaming, wild running waters of the Kicking
Horse. Emerald Peak and Mount Vaux, soaring skyward. An
adventure into a mountain wilderness where only loveliness
reigns! A beauty spot set in the heart of Yoho National Park

twentieth century are loath to leave behind. And here they
