点评:It is very easy to reach the trailhead by taking local bus number 1 from downtown Banff. The fare is CAD 2.50 for a single ride or CAD 5 for a day pass. The trailhead is at the second-to-last stop, the same one used for the hot springs, where you can relax after your ascent and descent.
The trail is of moderate difficulty. The distance to the upper gondola station is about 5.5 km on a wide forest path, with an elevation gain of approximately 650 meters. At a steady pace, it takes around 2 hours or less. Alternatively, you can take the gondola, but in good weather, hiking up is very rewarding thanks to the beautiful views.
The scenery is stunning. There is also a less-traveled trail starting from the historic Cave and Basin parking lot.
At the top, you will find restaurants, a coffee shop, and a gift shop, as well as a small cinema showing a short film about the area. From there, you can continue along wooden boardwalks to additional viewpoints, as well as to the meteorological station and the cosmic ray station.
Please note that the gondola ride down is no longer free; it costs about half the price of a full ticket. A general ticket costs approximately CAD 90.
翻译:从班夫镇中心乘坐1路公交车即可轻松抵达步道起点。单程票价为2.50加元,一日通票为5加元。步道起点位于倒数第二站,与温泉站是同一站,您可以在徒步上下山后在此放松身心。
这条步道难度适中。沿着宽阔的林间小路步行至缆车站,全程约5.5公里,海拔上升约650米。以稳定的速度行走,大约需要2小时或更短时间。您也可以选择乘坐缆车,但在天气晴朗时,徒步上山欣赏沿途美景,将是一次非常值得的体验。
风景令人叹为观止。此外,还有一条人迹罕至的步道,起点位于历史悠久的洞穴与盆地停车场。
山顶设有餐厅、咖啡馆、礼品店以及一家小型电影院,播放着一部介绍该地区的短片。从那里,您可以沿着木栈道继续前行,前往其他观景点,以及气象站和宇宙射线站。
请注意,缆车下山不再免费;票价约为全价的一半。普通票价约为 90 加元。
