After a week in Fernie, Linda and Rick flew home and we headed for Banff NP. First stop was Radium Hot Springs. Here we could soak in the 40 degree C (or 104 degree F) water while watching the Big Horn Sheep navigate the cliffs across the road. On the road to Banff, we stopped for a hike. When we returned from our hike we found ourselves sitting for 3 hours while an accident scene was being handled and investigated.
At Banff we had a wonderful view from our campsite where we spent 5 nights. Pat sprained her knee, so our activity level was dampened. This gave us an opportunity to do some of the activities we had not done on our previous visits. This included a gondola ride to the ridge above the Banff Springs Hotel. We also toured several museums in town. If you have been in bear territory I’m sure you have seen the bear proof trash cans; but how good are they? We saw a 10 minute video where a very large grizzly tried to push and shove a trash can over, but all he succeeded in was rocking it a bit. From Banff we moved up to Lake Louise.
