Banff is famous
for its rapidly elevating mountains, and the picturesque
landscapes. Banff has a rich and vibrant cultural and natural
history, recognized globally by the United Nations, which
designated the area of the Canadian Rockies as a UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 1984. The Town of Banff has many programs and
initiatives to ensure it protects its valuable history.

HOW TO
GET TO THE VENUE:
Lake Louise is located in the heart of the Banff
National Park (
http://banffnationalpark.com/) in
the Canadian Rockies. The closest major airport to Lake
Louise is
Calgary International Airport (
http://www.yyc.com/)
which has direct flights to many US and international
destinations.
Driving is a great choice to do both sight
seeing along the Trans Canada Highway, in the park and
getting to Lake Louise. The highway is a well maintained
divided highway. We will need to obtain a Parks Pass to
enter the park at the parks gate. The park pass is
free this year because of the celebration
of Canada's 150th anniversary. You can rent a car at the
Calgary airport or throughout the city of Calgary. The
driving directions can be found at:
