A vast lookout looking over the town of Banff🐏🏞

Want quick high elevation views with no hiking needed? Get yourself up here - a couple of switchbacks up the Norquay road and you’re staring over the whole town, the Bow River, Cascade & Norquay Peaks right to the side of you, and the Rundles in the distance. There are seating chairs at this viewpoint too, so you can chill as long as you want.

✅ TIPS FROM DEV, LINKS & SAFETY

  • Great spot for night shots.

  • Bighorn Sheep and deer are often hanging around up here. Be sure to give them space and do not approach them. Especially the Rams - last thing you need is a headbutt from one of those big boys and a broken leg or worse! I'm sure you will also see Ground Squirrels running around the hill as well.

  • Parks Pass: Parks Canada Pass Required
