In 1928, the Canadian Pacific Railway built a log cabin lodge for the use of "The Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies", a club of horse enthusiasts who were sponsored by the tourist-friendly railway. This cabin was certainly not the first lodge built in the region (Bill Peyto’s cabin near Simpson’s pass was built more than 30 years earlier), but it is now the oldest building at Banff Sunshine and is known as the Old Sunshine Lodge. Housing "Mad Trapper's Saloon and Bruno's Bistro", the OSL is situated at the timberline above what was then known as Wheeler’s Flats and just below a vast expanse of high alpine meadows.
