Castle Junction
Location of Castle Junction in Alberta
Castle Junction, also known as the locale of Castle Mountain, is a highway junction where the north extent of British Columbia Highway 93 intersects with Alberta Highway 1 (the Trans-Canada Highway), the Bow River, the historic CPR rail line, and Highway 1A in Banff National Park, Alberta. It is named after the nearby Castle Mountain, clearly visible from the Junction.
A group of lodges and the Castle Mountain campground are located within a kilometre of the junction. The trailhead for Rockbound Lake is also nearby.
Nearby is the site of the notorious Castle Mountain Internment Camp where people of Japanese descent were confined during WW II.
