This bench is located on the observation deck atop Sulphur Mountain near the Gondola lift terminal in Banff National Park in Alberta. The view is facing north-west.
RuneE of Visual Norway has an informal meme on Bench of the Week, where you can find other participants.

I can see forevermore, Barbara!
Aloha, Northen Friend!

Fly me to this bench!!! I could use a nice place surrounded by mountain beauty right about now.
Now that's a bench with a view!
Lovely photo! Thanks for visiting!
Cloudia, it certainly seems that way.
Teresa, the air would be quite bracing at this time of year, and a big change from your hot spell.
Willow, a view I never get tired of.
Sulphur mountain sounds menacing :-)
But The combination of the bench and the snow and the distance make it seem safe.
I can feel the coolness of the snow, and the warmth of the sun. It's very refreshing. Great photo.
An invigorating place to rest.
A lovely spot! I'd sit there drinking hot chocolate and exulting in the view!
My bench is up on my new Autumn header, and hopefully I'll have time later today to write about it too!!
Like ever, the view offered by your bench is simply great!
It seems everyone begins to have snow those times, I also posted snow on my main blog and found several snow pictures this morning.
The simplicity of your bench makes a beautyful contrast with the richness of the landscape. Great shot!
Dimple, glad you dropped by.
RuneE, Sulphur Mountain is named for the several hot springs that trickle forth from its interior.
Gallow, one of my mountain favourites.
Leah, it certainly affords a great view.
Phoenix, and there's the nice relaxing dip in the upper springs pool afterwards.
Malyss, October in the Rockies tends to bring a dusting of snow.
Lana would not like that snow.
Charles, this snow is melting in the photo so it would be perfect to make snowballs with...
Hello there Barbara
This looks 'Thee' place to sit and take in all that loveliness.. :O)

I would love to sit there and view the snow on the mountains AND make a snowman while sitting on that bench with snow on the deck! lol I might even making a snowman and leave it sitting on the bench.
Ahhh, I missed your blog and your benches photos so much! This one in particular is a beauty. It is partyl in the snow and partly in the wooden surface. It almost straddles two worlds. Beautiful.
Greetings from London.
Tom, the view is rather spectacular.
PERBS, a grand idea providing you've brought along mitts.
Cuban, alternate worlds are all around us.
My bench post is up at last!!
(I could do with a nice relaxing dip in the upper springs pool now, and a glass of Pernod!)
Looks like a mighty cold bench.
A bench, a camera and a site like that. I could linger all day.
What a wonderful bench to sit on and watch the surroundings, which are fascinating!
Beautiful view!
I haven't been posting benches for a while because I very stoooopidly deleted tons of photos a couple of weeks ago. I'm now searching for more benches.
This is my favorite recent photo, Barbara. Just takes my breath away. What I wouldn't give for a hot drink and a few hours on that bench!
Hope you are well :)
