Excerpt from The Challenge of the Mountains: The Canadian Rockies, the Playground of America Banff Hot Springs possess wonderful curative properties for rheumatic and kindred ailments. There are several important springs, the best known of these being the Cave and Basin, where the best of bathing facilities are afforded. The Cave is reached by a delightful drive of about a mile along a winding, pine bordered road up the valley of the Bow River to the base of Sulphur Mountain. The Cave itself is covered in by a natural roof of rock and is fed by water from the springs further up the mountains. The curious deposits of sulphur about its roof make it well worth a visit. The temperature of the water in the adjoining natural basin where the bathers congregate, is degrees Fahrenheit. Connected with the Banff Springs Hotel there are also fine bathing facilities.
