Package includes:
- Two nights luxury accommodation (minimum two night stay is required)

- Two passes for the Banff Gondola
- Sustainable lunch for two with biodegradable cutlery and two water bottles
- Two passes to the Banff Park Museum
With this Eco Hiking Adventure package you will visit Sunshine Meadows, known by many as the most stunning alpine setting in the Canadian Rockies. Situated at an elevation of 7,300 ft., the meadows straddle the Continental Divide and the boundary between Alberta and British Columbia. The next day you will soar above the tree line with the Banff Gondola taking you to the top of Sulphur Mountain - a place with endless views of the Rockies and a bird’s eye view of the town of Banff. Here you can take the one-kilometer self-guided interpretive walkway along the summit ridge that leads to the Cosmic Ray Station National Historic Site of Canada, and the historic Samson’s Peak Meteorological Station. For your descent, you have the choice to hike back down the mountain rather than take the Gondola. Keep a camera handy for incredible photo opportunities from brilliant mountain scenes to wildlife of all sorts. A sustainable lunch will be provided along with a reusable water bottle. Back in Banff, enjoy a visit to the Banff Park Museum, a place to step back in time and learn about the early approach to natural history interpretation in Canada.
