Sightseeing & Shopping: Banff Avenue
It’s hard to put a finger on precisely what gives Banff Avenue its charm. It could be the majestic bookends of Cascade Mountain and the Bow River or the shared connection of residents and visitors who come here to find all they need for days spent in the mountains.
The offerings of the shops that line Banff Avenue range from the gear you may need for tomorrow’s hike to gifts that symbolize the spirit of the Rockies. Stroll in and out of open doorways and gather a collection of keepsakes representing what the mountains mean to you.
Sightseeing & Shopping: Bear Street
Vibrant energy flows from cafes to artisan shops and art galleries along Bear Street. This little corner of Banff is home to artists, creators and retailers who don’t have to look far for their inspiration.
Meet some of these characters in their shops and studios along Bear Street as you search for the perfect pieces that speak to you. Once you’ve found your treasures, celebrate with a patio cocktail and watch the hummingbirds flit between colourful flowers.
Transportation is provided. Meet outside hotel lobby at 8:45 am. Bus will leave promptly at 9:00 am.
Reservations must be secured by September 26th by contacting Sue Schumacher.
