Sulphur Mountain
Banff, Canada
Sulphur Mountain is a prominent peak in Banff National Park, rising to 2,451 metres and offering stunning vistas of the surrounding Rockies and Bow Valley. The mountain's name comes from the natural hot springs at its base, which were a significant draw for visitors even in the late 19th century, when the first gondola was built.
A ride on the Sulphur Mountain Gondola provides an easy ascent and panoramic views, while trails traverse the mountain for those wanting a more active experience. Late spring to early fall is the best time to visit, and be sure to allow extra time at the summit boardwalk, where interpretive signs detail the area's natural history.
