It\u2019s that wonderful collage of images in your mind of snow-capped mountains, glittering Lake Moraine and Lake Louise, and the wooden architecture that effortlessly pulls the setting together. Banff is the kind of place where you\u2019ll gladly put your hobbies on the back burner \u2013 though nobody\u2019s going to stop you if you want to read a good book or check out the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bonus.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>BonusFinder Canada<\/u><\/a> offers in the picturesque atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The resort town and adjoining national park is one of Canada\u2019s most prized possessions \u2013\u00a0an alpine village tucked quietly away in the heart of the <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/canadian-rockies\/\">Canadian Rockies<\/a> and the oldest national park in the country, positively teeming with natural beauty. There are opportunities to hike, ski, view wildlife, <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/banff-activities\/valley-zipline-adventures\/\">zipline<\/a>, and much more, but if you\u2019re looking to pair your classic Banff adventure with some quirky pursuits, we\u2019ve got the perfect activities to add to your itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Go see the Cave and Basin National Historic Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019s only natural for visitors to get caught up in seeing as many scenic lakes as they can and hiking along the best pathways, many people miss out on the very place that led to the creation of the national park itself \u2013 the mineral-filled waters at the Cave and Basin National Historic Site. Discovered by railroad workers in the early 1880s, it was their curiosity and attraction to the bright-blue pools that led to the establishment of the first boundaries of the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These waters come directly from Sulphur Mountain and are heated by the Earth\u2019s core. Although these are thermal pools, they\u2019re interestingly rife with all sorts of organisms, including orchids, fish, and an endangered snail native to the area. You can take a quick look at the baths or even get a pass for the thermal waters, as well as walk along the trails and potentially join a tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check out the specimens at Banff Park Museum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of \u2018ests\u2019 in this part of Canada,&nbsp;and you\u2019ll find another of them with the Banff Park Museum \u2013&nbsp;the oldest natural history museum in Western Canada and surviving federal building in a Canadian national park. And we owe this fantastic collection of 5,000 vintage botanical and zoological specimens to a curator called Norman Bethune Sanson, who hiked over 32,000 kilometres to find these exotic beauties. For just $4.50 per adult, the price to step back in time and enter this National Historic Site is mere pocket change, considering the wildlife that awaits you inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banff-park-museum-1024x585.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2126487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banff-park-museum-1024x585.webp 1024w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banff-park-museum-300x171.webp 300w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banff-park-museum-768x439.webp 768w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banff-park-museum-1170x669.webp 1170w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banff-park-museum-585x334.webp 585w, https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/banff-park-museum.webp 1344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a dose of history at Bankhead Ghost Town<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The areas that make up Banff National Park have a mining history, and one of those towns was Bankhead. It was a coal mining community where coal was both its reason for existing and the cause of its downfall. As coal quality started dwindling, mines began to close, and the town became deserted after just 20 years, which is why it was nicknamed the \u201ctwenty-year town.\u201d Adding in the conflict between miners and the railroad, it was destined that Bankhead would eventually crumble \u2013&nbsp;literally. The town is about a 4-minute drive or a 50-minute walk from Banff Rocky Mountain Resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious about other ghost towns in the area? If you\u2019re feeling brave enough, you can put on some scuba diving gear and discover the ruins of an old resort hotel 60 feet beneath the surface of <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/lake-minnewanka\/\"><u>Lake Minnewanka<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marvel at the Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station is something that\u2019s easily missed in Banff, and that\u2019s because, at first glance, it can look like nothing more than some sort of utility structure. Sitting by the summit of Sulphur Mountain, it\u2019s been around since 1902 as a weather observatory. It stood as the government\u2019s official weather observer that could warn citizens about extreme weather events like snowstorms, floods, and wildfires. When weather forecasting technology became more advanced in the 1930s, the observatory became useless, but we can see the remnants of the station today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get to the old station, take the Banff Gondola up the mountain or hike 1.5 to 3 hours (depending on your fitness level) to the summit. While you\u2019re up there, why not visit the Northern Lights Alpine Kitchen for a buffet-style meal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sample a glacier-infused drink at the Park Distillery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a particular draw to many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/banffnationalpark.com\/banff-places-to-eat-the-ultimate-list-of-restaurants-in-banff-alberta\/\">eateries in Banff.<\/a> The Grizzly House has a long-standing reputation as a landmark destination for steak and cheese fondue, and the Lake Agnes Tea House boasts breathtaking views of Lake Louise and its surroundings. Head to the Park Distillery, however, and you\u2019ll find highly unique glacier water spirits you won\u2019t find anywhere else. The distillery performs all its processes by hand and produces in small batches, distilling with water from six glaciers high in the Rocky Mountains. What\u2019s even better is that the distillery tours are free, and the distillery also hosts other cool events like a blend-your-own gin experience. Hungry? Grab a seat at the restaurant for campfire-inspired cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience a cowboy cookout past the Bow River<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready for an authentic Western experience? There\u2019s nothing better than the Cowboy Cookout experience that takes you on a scenic covered wagon or horseback ride (your pick!) along the Bow River. Once you arrive at 3 Mile Cabin, you\u2019ll enjoy a western cookout with barbecue favourites and then finish off your adventure with a horseback ride along Sulphur Mountain Trail. This experience is celebrated as a <a href=\"https:\/\/parks.canada.ca\/voyage-travel\/experiences\/signature-experiences-distinctives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u>Canadian Signature Experience<\/u><\/a> by Destination Canada, making it that much more rewarding to cross this unforgettable journey off your bucket list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From hidden trails to quirky attractions, explore the lesser-known side of this stunning Canadian destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2126486,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2126485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-banff-activities"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>7 Unusual Things to Do in Banff - Banff National Park<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover 7 unique and offbeat activities in Banff!
