I noticed these stairs today as I was walking through the woods in the area of the old abandoned mining town of Bankhead near Banff. It was the location of the church, named Holy Trinity. The church was built in 1908, the town was abandoned in 1922, and most of the buildings removed. There are a number of foundations remaining, of which I find this the most interesting. The church itself was cut in half and moved by flatbed rail car to Calgary where it remained in service until 1962.
