Our Travels
Rockies & Okanagan - Banff Area
The Bow River valley with the Banff Springs Hotel in the distance. Tunnel Mountain (that we also climbed) is on the right.
As high as you can get on Sulphur Mountain outside Banff. A gondola gets you as far as the building on our left.
Prairie dogs near the Banff Springs Hotel.
A couple of young deer.
Our first of many waterfalls. This one was just outside Banff.
Lakes and mountains everywhere.
Hiking through Johnson's Canyon.
One of the many waterfalls in Johnson's Canyon.
Not much happening at the Chateau Lake Louise at this time of year!
Elk grazing near Banff.
It was a long hike to the top of Tunnel Mountain. The town of Banff is below.
Mountains on the Columbia Icefields Parkway.
Usually you can drive up to the Peyto Lake lookout. We had to walk because of the deep snow (really deep judging by the No Parking sign).
The view of Peyto Lake was worth the walk (see last picture) even though it was still frozen and not its usual turquoise blue.
The North Saskatchewan River.
