We just got back from a weeks vacation in Banff National Park, Canada. While you guys were having a heat wave here, we were wearing coats and wishing we had gloves! We went hiking every day, usually 4-5 mile hikes with a 12 mile hike on our last day. We stayed in the town of Banff most of the time, and took a day trip to Lake Louise, and Bow Lake, where we stayed in a remote lodge. We also spent a couple nights at the Banff Fairmont Springs Hotel, which is in the photo above. It is a castle like hotel that is amazing inside. We hiked up to several different glaciers and even saw a small avalanche. It was truly gorgeous there and we would love to go back in the winter.
