At first glance, it seems wrong for there to be a town inside a national park, but there's a couple of things to consider. first, the townsite was there before the park . It was called Siding 29, and mainly housed and supplied workers for the railway. Also, if it wasn't for the town, and the discovery of hotsprings nearby by 3 workers who lived there, there would be no Banff National Park. Stay crazy, Crazy Larry. Keep on rockin'.
Actually its a town and if you had bothered to Hike you would see that it KICK the shit outta any National Park in the states. I live in Banff and have traveled to MANY National Parks in the states ( THE ARE TRASH)
There's some more scenic and wildlife shots in our Snow Plow Tour of Banff video on our channel.
Good point about Banff being in the park. For perspective, Banff is less than 5 square kilometers in a 6641 square kilometer park. Still lots of wildlife and nature to explore:)
