Banff, Day 2 - Part 1 (Hike #1)

Starting our first hike at 8 am, we had the trail to ourselves. We initially skirted the forested bank of Lake Minnewanka. The weather and views were glorious. After crossing a bridge, the now cliffside trail meandered through forests high above the Cascade River. At the end, the trail descended to the river, allowing us to explore the rocky bank.

On our return, as we neared the lake where we started, we saw throngs of people, just headed out. And busses arriving to the parking lot! Glad we were leaving!Read more
