Surprise Corner Viewpoint in Banff offers a stunning view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and the Spray Valley, making it a must-visit spot for any visitor to Banff. Located just a few minutes outside of town along Tunnel Mountain Road, this iconic photo spot provides a picturesque scene with the hotel nestled at the base of Sulphur Mountain and Bow Falls in the foreground.

Once you secure a parking space, there's a short trail that leads down near the water which offers incredible views of the river and Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. The trail is short, but it's a bit rugged.
