Photo: Beautiful Picture Cave And Basin National Historic Site
The Cave and Basin National Historic Site of Canada at Sulphur Mountain in Banff, Alberta, Canada marks the beginning of the great National Park system of Canada. Sunlight streams through the hole in the roof and shines on the beautiful blue pool.
In 1885 the Cave and Basin National Historic Site of Canada became the first of the great National Park system of Canada and is situated in Banff National Park.
Because there were different versions of who had discovered the beautiful hot springs and cave on Sulphur Mountain, near Banff, Alberta, the small (10 square miles) area was designated as a National reserve by Prime Minister John A. Macdonald. This put a stop to arguments as to who had a claim on the hot springs, and also squashed any commercial plans.
The Cave and Basin National Historic Site can be found on Cave Avenue in the town of Banff, Alberta. There is a reasonable entrance fee to visit the mineral pool, basin, and buildings, as well as the trails leading to the original cave vent hole and the wetlands wild life. ... continue below the picture...
