The hill is quite steep so be careful walking. You can bring a blanket and sit for a bit! There is a garbage bin...

Saint Mary Roman Catholic Parish
Catholic church
👍👍 Lovely church. We attended a wedding at this church and found it very intimate and cozy. Plenty of seating and the priest officiating was very good and entertaining.

Mount Rundle Trailhead

👍👍 This was an awesome hike, but every hike in Banff was awesome. This hike took about 11 hours but I did have lunch when I got to the top. The beginning of the trail was a little hard to find... But it's right across hole one. Take your bear spray!
