Banff 2 nights

Well Woody sure is enjoying this trip and I know quite a few readers are too.

Bear outside our hotel in Banff 

Fairmont Banff Springs hotel 

We  went for a walk next morning 

Horses, we won't be riding any of them lol 

Looking back from Bows Falls to hotel 

We continued our walk into town and if you enlarge this pic a LOT you may just see the chipmunk between short stump and tree trunk 

Walked past a footbridge 

We chose to walk into town on the main road bridge.....if you zoom you will see Indian head figures 

Great weather and enjoying wearing our coats 

Horse drawn carriage went by 

Looking up to one of the many mountains in Banff 

Stunning 

Oh look we found a Moose and a lovely lady took this pic for us 

Paul having fun with the moose 

This was back in the hotel 

We had a tourist outing to this.......The Cave and basin national historic site 

Thermal pool here no longer allows public to bathe 

And special snails live in here and keep it clean 

We were taken to see Two Jack lake 

Paul did some filming 

We also saw another lake nearby....whoops no note taken lol 

A walk was also taken here and really lovely 

Some carved bears here too 

Some younger ones.....taking as many as can as don't know if we will see a REAL bear 

Bear proof bins everywhere 

Dinner in a rather fancy restaurant on site and this Deer with us lol 

Scallop entree 

Boar pate 

Beef tenderloin 

Pork chop 

And yes we got to meet a Mounty.....he is a retired Mounty called Pat.....lovely man...not me in pic lol 

Van Hoorne president of the canadian pacific railway 

And we think he is pointing to where the station is 

We returned to Bow falls with everyone and were show this phone box......attacked by a local bear 

All enjoying 

And as we were leaving Banff we were taken here 

Up we were going 

Look how keen I look lol 

A neat mirror bear 

The clouds cleared and were able to get lots of snowy shots 

Looking down to the walk to a hut called Sulphur Mountain Cosmic Ray Station

Our cool selfie 

Paul thought he would dance with that bear 

This Gondola was like a rollercoaster at the start going down lol 

I saw a little movie while up there and snapped the lights......

Paul took a hike to that Station 

All the way up there 

I just went down a few sections 

And took pics back to the Gondola Area 

On our drive to next destination they stopped so we could take views of our hotel 

Very neat and wonderful place to stay 

Another spot we stopped at and saw Hoodoos 

You could still see our hotel way down the centre back area 

Goodbye to Banff and about to say hello to Lake Louise......

Currently here and about to move on again xoxoxo
