Drove 226 miles today. We are at a national park. We will be here 3 days. Arrived and simply enjoyed the evening. There were gophers at the end of our site. Too cute. Went on a tour bus and stopped at Lake Louise, Takakkaw Falls (got so close my shirt and hair were damp) a “natural” bridge, the Emerald Lake. Had a lovely lunch at the Lake Louise Ski Lodge. Next day took a small side tour. It was only “ok”. We definitely did not enjoy the public transportation in Banff. The town of Banff was soooooo crowded. The height of tourist season. $6.00 for a very small cup of ice cream after waiting in line for 20 minutes.
