Found with my husband, Southern Cross Caching on our road trip from Calgary to Vancouver over 8 days.
What an amazing trip, the Canadian Rockies are simply amazing!

Had to look hard for this one! The one we found was a small clear plastic container - some pictures show a different container?
Spotted the cache, but there were people sat on the bench nearby having lunch. We waited a while but no sign of them going, so we decided to return later, as soon as we crossed the road they went into the museum. We quickly went back and grabbed the cache. While signing the log more people came and sat on the wall, we discreetly replaced the cache, as soon as we walked away these people also left. No TB in this cache. TFTC. Love this beauiful little town.
We traveled to Canada from Melbourne, Australia and have spent the past couple of weeks visiting friends in Hamilton, Ontario. We are now on a Rocky Mountaineer tour and arranged to have a few days in Banff. We promised an Aussie TB owner to place their Lil Snowman TB in a cold Canadian location so this looked like a suitable cache to put him in. ??
We spotted the cache after a brief search and then one of us had to do the " tie up your shoelaces" trick to retrieve the cache. We signed the log at 3:15 pm and then quickly returned the cache to its hiding spot before any muggles noticed our strange antics. Left the Lil Snowman TB but TN as there were no TBs in the cache.
Thanks Scottie for the bold hide and for bringing us here as we took a squiz at the Whyte Museum after finding the cache.

My GPS was a bit bouncy when I eventually found it thanks to the hint.
Thanks for the cache.

First cache in almost a year, since traveling to Spain. Nice to know I haven't lost my geosense. We couldn't get the coordinates to load on our GPS but found it without based on the hint. Traveling in Banff and Calgary area for a short trip from the Seattle area. Thanks for the cache! geocropmom

The last spot we looked at was the right one. The museum was already closed.
Thanks for the cache.

Hi here for a couple of days and thought I would seek out some caches before moving on. Been spoilt for weather, miles better the UK when I left. The logs looked pretty full and pretty popular. Oh and by the way this is my first int cache so TFTC
Cook a long time just waiting for muggles to continue on their tour quick find once they left TFTC. No TBs.
Second day @Canmore. We came here in Banff to change rented car to get a working one. After that I got a chance to get couple caches:) Nice walk on a beautiful day:) Greetings from Finland and Thanks for the cache!
Final cache for the day in Banff. This one was bit trickier, and the GPS seemed to be having trouble deciding where we should be.
Geosense kicked in, and before we knew it, cache was in hand.

Lots of surreptitious bench sitting before we spotted this one... in retrospect it probably should have been obvious. tftc.
Found while on a road trip to Banff from Winnipeg with my girlfriend. Great hide and museum. TFTC!
Spending the weekend in Banff to celebrate our epic 40th Wedding Anniversary and to attend the Rocky Mountain Wine and Food Festival. What a perfect weekend!!! The sun was shining, the days were warm, the mountains dusted with a little snow looked so pretty, the mountain views are spectacular. We even managed to find a few caches!!! WooHoo!!! We haven't been to the mountains in years and we had such a good time re-visiting the best places in Banff. Signed log as CRAZii. Thanks for placing a cache here. Swapped TB's here.
Walksabit and I are visiting Banff for the Volkssport walking convention this weekend. We missed this cache yesterday when we walked right by here. Today I was doing another 5km walk and made the detour. Interesting hide 
Found with parts of Team Tater and rick and Linda from Nova Scotia. Dropped off my geocoin from Alberta in 2006. Now it can make the world journey again.
Greetings from Nova Scotia. While in Banff for a walking conference we picked up a couple of cashes. Met other cachers on the trail. TFTC
I didn't have any data service today, so this was my only find in Banff and then only because I had read up on where there were caches before we headed to Banff from our hotel in Canmore. Without a GPSr, finding the cache was a tad difficult but knowing it was at the Whyte Museum and that CITO was relevant certainly helped. Once there, CITO made sense and the find was made and necessary photos taken ... I try to take a photo wherever I can so that my geo-kids and grandchildren can enjoy my travels too.
This one was certainly easier than the alternatives ... either one on a walking trail or a damn micro in the middle of the main street, so thanks muchly for allowing me to get a smiley in Banff.

My 6 year old son found it while my husband and I were wandering around looking in the wrong place - lol. Thanks for the cache!
A quick find whilst visiting from Australia. Took TB and will set it loose in Australia. Also left my P.T.

My first international GC. We are full timer RVers on our way to AK for the first time and spending several days in Banff. This is the first National Park in Canada we have visited and it is magnificent. We are leaving in the morning heading to Dawson Creek the beginning of the AK Highway. DW is biring along the way and I am geocaching!
On our silver wedding tour went through the U.S. and Kanada.It was just wonderful. Our hobby was there, of course not too short. This box was with on the tour. Greetings from the schröter's

This is number 200 for us !! It's a little bit cool here in banff but we are having an amazing long weekend. Out caching with our family and Kaylene143<3
Out for a ladies road trip with Coconutgirlie to visit friends in Alberta. No TBs in the cache today, TFTF!
Found on a tour of Canada. No GPS used just noted the position from Google Earth before leaving home.
Just down the road from our hotel. We had to avoid some muggles but managed to do so undetected.

Took us a bit as our GPS was off. Lots of muggles, so stealth was necessary. Another find by Bolt.
Nach kurzer Suche schnell gefunden.

Quick grab on my way to do some groceries. Dropped off a trackable I found in panama last week.
Very quiet today, so pretty easy in this yucky weather. Saw no TBs. The many log books are rather full, but flipping through them and we found some blank pages, whew 
Thanks for the cache!
(But I think we found this cache before the other cacher who dropped off a TB today, so that one should be there)!

My first Banff find. Hope to get a few more in in the next few days but the 25 cm dump of snow might slow things down a bit. TFTC.
This was an easy find, but it took me a bit longer to place it again due to several muggle. So it was almost good luck that the batteries of my GPS receiver gave up at this very moment and I could spend a bit of time exchanging them. TFTC!
Easy find and quick visit. Dropped off TB Basil. No other TB in cache
