Re: Banff Alberta
Next my cousins and I went on the Gondola. We couldnt go all the way to the top of the mountain because there was a Grizzly and 4 baby cubs in the area. Since it is possible to bump into them on the walking trails, the gondola operators would only allow ppl about 1/2 up the mountain side. There is an obeservation deck and an Interpretative centre at the 1/2 point. But even then for the first half an hour, we had to be driven from the gondolas to the centre because the park rangers werent a 100% sure EXACTLY where the bear and her cubs were.
We did get a chance to see the mother and 2 of her cubs on the rid up. I was so excited and fearful that I would drop my camera that I didnt use the zoom to get a close up pix of the bears.

Re: Banff Alberta
Town of Lake Louise below us
After a while the park rangers opened up the trail between the gondola and the Interpretative centre. Instead of drving ppl, we were allowed to walk. It is a pretty steep hill expecially when you are trying to make your way back
On the obeservation deck they had on display a skull of a black bear (smaller one) and a grizzly. Gives you an idea of what you can buck up against in the woods if you are not paying attention
Deer and Ram antlers
Oops, other shots of the ride up that I didnt post earlier

Re: Banff Alberta
I just realized I posted some pix twice but I am too lazy to change things up
The only picture I got of inside the chalet. The place is a great spot for skiing for those who like to do so.

sorry, sorry ma'am - didnt mean to be so hard on you
Of course. Use whatever you like. I that made me smile that someone would use one of my pix as a desktop photo.
That honor is usually reserved for CEW and the 40 legs of the world
I LOVE the scenary out here. It is just stunning even in the winter. I would love to own a 2nd home in Canmore or one of the other resort towns in the National Parks in the future.
I've priced out the ViaRail thing too but it is dear $$
but it would be a fantastic way to see Canada

Re: Banff Alberta
we kinda did the tailgate thing and had lunch from the back of my car once we were done with the Lake Louise area. We headed back to the town of Banff and this time I paid attention to the signs and took the right turn off
Welcome to Banff
