History
Whyte Museum records show that Blue Mountain Lodge first appeared in Banff National Park tax rolls in 1908. It was opened by Sarah E. Taylor as a rooming house following the death of her husband at the nearby Bankhead mines.

During subsequent years, the Black family owned Blue Mountain Lodge and then a Mrs. Inez Miller took ownership and started renting rooms to visitors. Hugh and Irene Simpson bought the Lodge in 1987 and renovated the property with the help of their son Ryan. The Blue Mountain Lodge has been under the new ownership of Louise and Pascal Dell-Courtemanche since January 2007.
