Photograph of the Bow River Valley in Banff National Park, as viewed from an elevated perspective from the Banff Springs Hotel. In the lower left corner, the pool area of the hotel enters frame and is viewed from above. Beyond it, pines line the near landscape. The Bow River Valley stretches into the distance. The Bow River flows back at center. Mountains rise up from the valley floor on either side of the river. Tunnel Mountain enters frame at left. In the far distance, mountains stand at center.
Photograph of Mertie West standing at a viewpoint that overlooks the Bow River Valley and Banff Springs Hotel in Banff National Park. Grasses line the bottom edge of the image. A bus, parked beside the grass, enters frame from the left edge; it is viewed from the side, facing right. Beyond the bus, a drive stretches across the mid-ground. Mertie West stands on the drive, left-of-center. She faces left, but looks to the camera. Behind Mertie, the Bow River Valley stretches across the image and into the distance. The Bow River is forked, flowing through the valley at left and right. Tunnel Mountain rises at right, Sulphur Mountain rises in the far distance at center and another mountain rises along the left edge. Banff Springs Hotel is barely visible in the distance at the base of Sulphur Mountain and to the left of Tunnel Mountain.
Photograph of the Banff Springs Hotel, as viewed at a distance from a viewpoint on a drive in Banff and Banff National Park. Trees, mostly pines, stand in the foreground and mid-ground. Beyond the trees and in the distance, the Banff Springs Hotel stands at center. The Châteauesque hotel is viewed at an angle from the rear. A tree-covered mountainside rises behind the hotel.
Photograph of guests at Banff Springs Hotel standing at the veranda's edge and looking out towards the Bow River Valley in Banff National Park. The large veranda stretches across the foreground. Its brick pavers appear to be damp. Chairs sit in clumps along the far end of the veranda. At center, a few guests lean over a low stone parapet that stretches across the image. They stand with their backs to the camera and face towards the Bow River Valley in the distance. Beyond the porch, mountains along the right and left (Tunnel Mountain) edges rise in the near distance. Further across the valley, mountains rise in the distance at center. Four punched holes line the bottom edge at right.

Pines grow along the base of Tunnel Mountain, which rises along the left edge. At right, pines obscure the view of another mountain rising along the right edge. Additional mountains stand in the distance at the far end of Bow River Valley at center. Four punched holes line the bottom edge at right.
