Banff (2)

Banff is beautiful and the hotels are full all year. The town is in a national park so they have had to cap the population because there is nowhere else to build. The current population is 9,000, the cap is 10,000.

We had a terrific tour today. It started off with a helicopter ride over the landscape of the Rocky Mountains, then we went down where there is every type of restaurant imaginable and had lunch. Next we toured around the suburbs and down town area. We saw Lake Minnewanka and the Hoodoos (sulphur mounds created over thousands of years). Our next stop was Bow Falls

And finally and finally a gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain.

It was a real fun day and we met more very nice people. 

Next stop Lake Louise.
