Things to Do in Banff
(That can be done During the Conference!)
- Take in a play or a concert at the
Banff Summer Arts Festival. The start of the BSAF coincides with the
beginning of the meeting.
- There are plenty of wilderness
activities that one can enjoy in an afternoon in
Banff National Park (although you might need a car to get to your destination).
- Go hiking up Tunnel Mountain or to the Hoodoos. The trailheads for
these hikes are not far from the Banff center.
- Enjoy some of the art scattered around the Banff Center campus or go to
the on-campus art museum (the Walter
Phillips Gallery).
- There are also a number of more commercial activities that one can enjoy in
the Banff area, such as:
-
Shopping in the town of Banff (a 15 minute walk from the conference location).
-
Dining or drinking in the town of Banff (a 15 minute walk from the conference
location).
- Play a round of
golf (you'll need transportation for this one).
- Go
Horseback Riding (again you'll
probably need transportation).
- Go
Whitewater Rafting (transportation probably needed).
- No trip to Banff is complete without a visit to beautiful
Lake Louise & Moraine Lake (about a 40 minute drive North of Banff), or the Columbia
Icefield (about 1.5 hours drive from Banff). You can rent a car or can take a tour
offered by a company such as
Brewster.
- More activities can be found here.
