This was known as Sleeping Buffalo Mountain (it looks like a Sleeping Buffalo) up until the 1880’s, than the Canadian Pacific Railway decided to blast a tunnel through the mountain. Since then it has been called Tunnel Mountain, even though the tunnel had been scrapped! Do you think they should change it back to Sleeping Buffalo?
Very interesting story. Sleeping Buffalo, the original name has my vote. Thank-goodness they scrapped the tunnel. Beautiful artful images & nice write-up Dave✌
Woooow..... great click buddy😍 what a view!!! @daveks
Tunnel Mountain sounds rather lame, harkens to Boaty McBoatface. They should absolutely change it back to Sleeping Buffalo.
Lame indeed, would be nice to see them change it back!
Ha! Lovely picture either way.
Thanks for looking!
love the pics, as to your question, I don't think they should have ever changed the name in the first place! :)
Agreed!
Really awesome is a post. It's like everyone likes to see.

When your driving into Banff on the #1 it so looks like a Sleeping Buffalo, it’s really amazing!
Sleeping buffalo it is for sure! Why would they change the name of a mountain because of a railway!?
Good question!
