L Minnewanka & Banff AB

Complementary breakfast in our hotel then off to Lake Minnewanka via the loop with big horn sheep on the way. We arrived early to check in so had 20 mins or so for a sketch of the lake.
The cruise was good, about an hour, with interpretation from Marshal all the way. No wildlife though, only hikers, despite the grizzly warnings. And swallows nesting on the ticket office.
After we stopped by Two Jacks where there were more big horn sheep chewing the road(no wonder there are potholes) and chance for another sketch. Back via Tunnel Mountain loop and lunch on our balcony accompanied by ‘ construction ‘ on the adjacent junction.
Park distillery tour next, with chance to see they are branching into Whiskey soon. Cookies from the hotel before a walk round Marsh loop, the other side of the river, which involved a street market with more gone, this time Wildlife, to be tasted ( which made up for the absence of the furry kind)!
A relapsing jacuzzi bath with Henkel bubbles almost rounds off the day.Read more
