We picked up a rent-car at the Calgary Airport and drove 128 km to Banff National Park. Permits are required to enter the park and we purchased ours at the gate. After checking into the Banff Springs Hotel we walked down the hill to town. We explored the many shops then took a walk along the south side of Bow River to Bow Falls.
