For fabulous views of the town of Banff and the entire valley, visitors can take the Sulphur Mountain Gondola up Sulphur Mountain. This is one of the most popular things to do in summer.
The parking area is just four kilometers outside Banff. On a clear day, there is a splendid view from the three terrace decks and the mountain-top restaurant.
At the top are a number of walking options, including the Banff Skywalk (Vista Trail), an easy one-kilometer trail that leads to the Cosmic Ray Station National Historic Site of Canada and the Sanson's Peak Meteorological Station. The four-hour Banff City Sightseeing Tour is an easy way to see this attraction, with pickup and drop-off at locations in town, a gondola ride, and additional sightseeing in the area.
