Banff
Banff is the largest town in Banff National Park, in Alberta's Rockies,
and the community with the
second highest elevation in Canada, after Lake Louise.. Banff is located
126 kmswest of Calgary
and 58 km east of Lake Louise, on the Trans-Canada Highway. Banff is a
resort town and one of
Canada's most popular tourist destinations, known for its mountainous surroundings
and hot springs.

The town's growth in recent years has led to concerns among some environmentalists who fear that it will
harm the wilderness of the surrounding national park. The federal government
has attempted to address
these concerns by restricting development in the town, and mandating that
only people who can demon-
strate a "need to reside"may take up permanent residence in the
community.
These photo show a street view of Banff. Like in the town of Whistler,
Mont Tremblant, it is not well
suited for the surrounding nature, but like the man-made town for play
and shopping.

日本人にもよく知られているロッキー山脈観光の基地、バンフ。1962年にこの地を訪れたときはただ一人の日本人に
合うこともなかったが、今では多くの団体や個人客に出会う。また日本人の経営するうどんや寿司の店もあり、結構
繁盛している。バンフの街並みも、ケベック州ロレンシャンで見たと同じような、カナダ特有の人工的な町が
出来ており、周りの自然とは少しかけ離れている感じを受けた。時代の変化とはいえ、50年前の自然にとけ合った
バンフの町がなつかしい。
