Descripción

A faint smell of sulfur hangs in the air as you approach the Banff Marsh Loop Trail. You share the nearby parking lot with visitors to the "Cave & Basin National Historic Site". The trail begins south of the lake with a wooden boardwalk that leads to several great viewpoints. The initial section offers the best views of the lake, but the whole 3 km loop trail is well worth it. It leads through forest, along meadows, and beside the river with its crystal-clear water. From the trail, you can spot American Bittern, Red-winged Blackbird, Green-winged Teal, Wilson's Snipe and with a bit of luck, coyotes, wolves, and bears.
