Banff, Alberta

We arrived in Banff whilst a forest fire was raging somewhere south so the whole place was quite thick with smoke. And hot! Nearly 30 degrees which we weren't expecting in September. We decided to walk up Sulphur Mountain anyway which was a nice walk, but not too much of a view. Andy almost had a heart attack at the price of the gondola so we ended up walking back down... A dip in the hot springs was much welcome afterwards!
We didn't spend much time in Banff as it's really a tourist trap. We had to stay at one of the biggest campsites there and it felt like a bit of a cattle farm. Fairly pleasant few days there, but glad to move on to Jasper.Read more
