The Banff Marsh Trail is a 0.5 km boardwalk trail starting at the Cave & Basin site which leads downhill into a nearby marsh next to the Bow River. It brings you close to nature and wildlife within minutes of downtown Banff. Apparently this is one of the few places in the park where you can see the completely harmless garter snake, but alas.. no luck for me so you’ll have to settle with a picture of the marsh itself.

The trail offers excellent views of Mount Norquay, which is home to one of the many ski resorts in the area, Ski Norquay.
