    Cave and Basin hot springs

    Posted by ColvilleAndersen 6 November 2005

    When Banff National Park was created in 1883, the hot springs were the main attraction. Tired railway workers soothed their limbs in the hot mineral water and a spa was soon built to cater to tourists.

    It's a national historic site where you can visit the caves.
