Banff & CAN Rockies (part 1)

Town of Banff has been on our bucket list for a few years and is in the Banff National Park. A cool city with a skyline dominated by the peaks of Mt. Rundle and Mt. Cascade, part of the Rocky Mountains. There are no bad views from anywhere in the city. The Bow River runs through it and at one point The Bow Falls is created which throws off a calming flow of water. A trail lines the city and the main thoroughfare, Banff Ave, has small boutiques and cool restaurants. And those views 🤩🏔️ no words to describe…just need to add to your list!!! A must visit and experience.

We visited The Fairmont Hotel, mainly because it sits on a hill that gives you even better views of the landscape.

We decided to rent a canoe 🛶 Spent 2 hours on the Bow River. The water was so calm and I can’t say it enough……Stunning views & RELAXING 😎

We will take a lot of pictures of The Canadian Rockies so wanted to add a tidbit about them. They stretch from BC (British Columbia) to AB (Alberta). The expansive system of interconnected mountain ranges between the Interior Plains and The Pacific Coast. It runs northwest-southeast from central Alaska. They are shaped by glaciers unlike CO Rockies which are shaped by snow and rain.Baca lagi
