Banff Horseback Riders’ Menus

These two menus were used in the Banff Springs Hotel in 1956. One of them has a photo we have seen before on a Canadian Pacific dining car menu, so it is possible that the photo on the other was also used on a dining car menu as well. The photo, however, is the only similarity; at 7-3/4″x11″, these menus are larger than CP dining car menus, most of which are 6-3/4″x10″.

The first shows two riders on horseback exploring the area around the hotel. “For miles surrounding Banff Springs Hotel trails, level across the valley, twisting and curving beside rivers and climbing, on the lower slopes of the many surrounding mountains, are well marked,” says the cover. “Sturdy mountain ponies from the corral, with or without dude-wranglers, are available for guests’ enjoyment.” The menu is for lunch on June 21, 1956.

The second shows a Royal Canadian Mountie on horseback. CP used this very same photograph on a 1951 dining car menu. Today’s version is a dinner menu dated June 22. Since hotels have much more room for food than a dining car as well as more potential customers, their menus are often more extensive. But the lunch menu shown here presented only five entrées with table d’hôte meals and the dinner menu has just six, which is not much more than a dining car.
