 | | The railway went on to build a series of luxury hotels along the line; as a result, The Fairmont Banff Springs, which opened its doors in 1888, inaugurated tourism in the Banff area and played an integral role in the expansion of the Canadian West. |
 | | The hotel was officially completed in 1928, but enhancements continued into the 21st-century, most notably with an infusion of $175 million in recent years. |
 | | Banff is a playground of winter pursuits—canyon ice walks, dog sledding, ice fishing, ice skating, sleigh rides, snowmobiling and snowshoeing. |
