Introduction

Sulphur Mountain is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Banff, located in the Rocky Mountains with an elevation of 2450 meters. There is an observation deck on the mountaintop, and a cable car operates year-round for visitors to overlook Banff and the surrounding rivers, valleys, and mountains. From the observation deck, visitors can clearly see landmarks like Cascade Mountain, Tunnel Mountain, and Mount Rundle, and the castle-like buildings of Banff Springs Hotel amidst its pine forest. Recently renovated Sulphur Mountain Hot Springs has become a new favorite among tourists. With water temperatures ranging between 37 and 40 degrees Celsius, visitors can relax and enjoy views of the distant peaks of Mount Cascade and Mount Norquay. Many tourists also enjoy looking for squirrels and bighorn sheep here. Since the discovery of Sulphur Mountain Hot Springs in 1884, millions of people have visited this place. Whether in spring, summer, autumn, or winter, Sulphur Mountain is an excellent tourist destination that attracts countless visitors.
