Days 21-23, Beautiful Banff
... picnic site set in a lovely glade of trees with a trickling creek running through it. It was very cold, but bright and sunny too. We also bumped into a herd of Deer, skittish and alert but so sweet with their beautiful doe eyes. We drove back to Banff town and drove to see the Fairmont Banff. All the Fairmont's Hotels apparently have to be set on lakes, which from what we've seen in their only similarity. The Fairmont in Banff is a formidable structure up close, ...
On the Piste
... saw us hit the shops in search of discounted ski and board equipment. We tried on some different boots and chatted to staff to gleen as much information as possible. We decided to see what we can find during our shopping trip to Calgary and return to Banff if needed.

If I hadn't gone in Costa Rica I would have been all over it, but it was twice the price for half the time! Plus this one required wetsuits, it just wouldn't be the same.
Off out line dancing tonight apparently, after ...
Sunshine Meadows -- maybe the best hike around
... Divide between Alberta (Banff National Park) and British Columbia (Mt. Assiniboine Provincial Park), is only a few miles from the Banff townsite and just off the Trans-Canada Highway. Unlike most of the Continental Divide, which is characterized by sharp ragged peaks, this region offers 100 square kilometers of fairly flat, easily hiked sub-alpine ...
