Banff to Brooks

After a wander around downtown Banff we hit the highway again following the Bow River Pathway once again rather than the major highway passing through the quaint old town of Cochrane before bi-passing Calgary our way to Brooks.
On approaching Cochrane it appeared to be a satellite extension of Calgary with many new estates popping up,all over the place. We needed a break but decided to head into the downtown area. Glad we did - a genuine prairie pioneer town with most of their original buildings still used and many for the same original use. Pity that we will miss their Outhouse Derby tomorrow but we don’t have the time to hang around.
We arrived in Brooks after dark and were unable to ding the river campsite I had hoped for so tonight is our first Walmart carpark campsite. We are not the only ones.Meer informatie
