Photograph of Tunnel Mountain in Banff National Park, as viewed from a rooftop at the Banff Springs Hotel. The buildings and grounds of the Banff Springs Hotel stretch across the foreground and mid-ground. A veranda atop a portion of the building juts into frame at left. Beyond and below it, the hotel's pool (partial view) is visible at left. Hotel guests stand around the pool in the near distance at left and center. From the pool area, the hotel grounds, including a walking path, extend along the bottom edge and towards the right. Beyond the hotel grounds, Banff National Park stretches into the distance. Tunnel Mountain rises just beyond the pool area, left-of-center. Surrounding mountains rise behind it and the Bow River Valley stretches into the distance at right. Four punched holes line the bottom edge at right.
