21. Canmore to Golden

Started the day after check-out again with a lookout for wild in the Banff Golfcourt - saw again the Elk herd, this time with even more animals and at least 5 males. So will fighting over the females begin soon?
Did the route from day 16, this time with direction to Golden. Stopped at the Spiral Tunnel viewpoint - an architectonial masterpiece when you are speaking about railways. The train is gaining high in a tunnel in spiral form, photos can't tell you how cool this is. As I worked hard on my to-do list the last days, I had now some time and was lazy. So I returned in the Yoho NP to the Takakkaw falls hoping to see some mountain goats as it still was early in the morning. And yes, saw two of those rare iconic rocky mountain species 😍🐐
After that I needed some action and visited the Golden Skybridge Adventure park. There were a lot of adventurous attractions as ziplining, climbing park,... and the hightest suspension bridges in Canada. Puuh, so high and it was windy - I was happy that I had only purchased tickets for the bridge and the so called mountain coaster and not the other thrilling attractions not suited for people who are afraid of heights.
After a little bird watching at the reflection lake in Golden, I arrived at my sleeplace for the night. I had booked the "hippie hut" at a resort, a small cabin in the wood withoud light, electricity and water 😳Read more
