Amazing backdrop to horseback riding
This beautiful garden is often missed by tourist visiting Banff, Alberta. The Cascades of Time Garden is located at the end of Banff Avenue and on the way to the Banff Springs Hotel in a five-hectare plot of land, which also includes the Banff Parks administration building. Approximately 50,000 annuals are planted by the May long weekend and in place until the first frost, often in September. (July 2019)
