Banff

After an unexpected Sunday afternoon drinking session Greg and I got up way too early to go experience Banff in all its glory. We started out by riding the pricey gondola (we were in no shape for hiking) up to the top of Sulphur mountain to take in the views of Banff.

Going up.

The town of Banff.

Sulphur mountains modest backside.

The 1960s building the gondola climbs up to.

Banff's first weather station.

After our 25 bucks were counted for we headed down off the mountain and towards downtown.

The view from where we parked which thankfully doesn't capture all the construction that closed off the whole main street of downtown.

The Bow River taken from "the bridge" you cross to get downtown.

After some much needed lunch we started to feel better and headed out to a lake North of the town where we wandered around for the rest of the afternoon.

How much did you manage to pack in to your time back in Canada? Nice pics.
