Banff's Cave and Basin National Historic Site reopened Friday after undergoing a three-year renovation.

The sulphurous hot springs were discovered in the late 1800s and soon became a major draw for visitors to the area.

The $13.8-million renovations to the Cave and Basin, announced in 2009, were to include restoration of its historic buildings, a new plaza and interpretive displays and restoration of habitat for the endangered Banff Springs snail.

From 1914 until the early 1990s the site had a naturally heated swimming pool but they have been removed.

Eddie Burger Bar is pretty good, I'm not sure how new it is.

A Burger and a couple of trash cans and you'll be good to go for the night.
