Banff Day 4&5

Banff was a beautiful and fun place to stay it is kind of funny you have to go into the park before you get to the towns so that was a little bit different and of course you have to pay first, in Canada you pay per person per day...

the town is great it is lined with shops and more shops you could walk up and down the streets for hours they have every type of shopping you can think of. The flowers are very pretty too I think if must be the climate.

We found a great Mexican place to eat it was tiny inside and a little different than we are use to but it had great food. The people that work in Canada are awesome very nice and very helpful.

We found a hike call Johnston falls and it was the greatest, the trails are so well maintained it is really fun to see the difference in the national parks. They really do use the money for good I think we just use it to pay the off duty rangers.

This one is just so you can see the trail and the depth of the hike and how high above the water we were.

Ray can NEVER stay where is suppose to be so if you look real hard you will find him under the waterfall

We went to Lake Louise to see the lake that is on all the travel things you see and boy I now know why is is so so pretty. The water is always the same color blue, blue and you can't see into it.

This is looking at the glacier that feeds the lake. We rowed to the end of this see below...

Ray had to talk really hard but it wanted to go on the canoe so bad and I did not I cried I was so scared the water is 32 degrees and you can see anything but blue...... I don't swim! he promised me we would be OK and that I would not drowned I don't think to this day my mom believes it, she did not want us to go, we did and it ended up being very fun it was a lot of work but what a awesome experience it took us about 15 minutes to get to the end and about 45 minutes to get back.. Ray must have not done any rowing.?

Then on to Lake Moraine same blue color but this one has a lot more logs that come down when the snow melts

day 6& 7 Jasper and the Columbia ice fields
