Cherished by Canadians, Banff National Park is renowned around the world as a protected paradise with 6641 square km of mountain, forests and lakes. But in the midst of this vast wilderness you will discover the beautiful town of Banff. We will ride the gondola up to the top of Sulpher Mountain and experience the "breathtaking" view of the magnificent Bow Valley and the Banff Springs Hotel. You will be able to have lunch at any of the great restaurants in the town and shop at the quaint boutiques and shops. Don't be surprised if an elk crosses your path.

Cost per Person: $25.00

As the conference is subsidizing costs, your minimal cost will include coach transportation, taxes and lift ticket for the ride up Sulpher Mountain.
