Hey do any of you know if one can fly a private plane onto the airstrip in Banff? Are there any other landing strips in that area of the park that you can land at?

EDIT: I did a little more digging, and I guess landing/taking-off in any national park in the country is prohibited. There was a law in the late 90s entitled the National Parks Aircraft Access Regulations that came into effect closing the Banff airport. It is now maintained simply as a diversion airport. Interesting.

Is there any landing strips immediately surrounding the park one could land at? haha
