... at the time. I was glad to make it out alive. There is a great deal of  Native Indian heritage in Banff, including several detailed Totem Poles around town, and a good Native Indian museum. There were some interesting artifacts in the museum ...

... Veel waterval was dara niet aan, wel rapids, zoals ze in raft-termen zeggen. Ik heb ook het grote hotel gezien dat je op veel foto's ziet van Banff. Zo bombastisch. Daarnaa ben ik terug naar de campground gekomen en heb ik eten gemaakt. Enige obstakel ...

... and Greg wanted to go off to get some ice cream.  CO did, too, but first we needed to make a pit stop. This Banff central park has restroom facilities that would rival a mega restroom at Disneyland.  I opened the door to the Ladies room, and say ...

... in Mantanuska Park.  Then, took a waste-of-time side trip to Lake Louise, AK (not at ALL like the one in Banff N.P. in British Columbia!). The road was paved but so frost heaved, it was like riding a roller coaster, and not the fun kind. ...

... walked all the way around the lake and even went into the Chateau Lake Louise which is the sister to the Banff Springs Hotel in Banff. They are both Farimont Hotels and VERY expensive!!! After Lake Louise we kept travelling as our destination was Vernon. ...
