Banff, Alberta Canada - two views

 Banff from the hill road. No need to take the tram.
Along the river park at a bend in the river. Lovely.
     Banff is a beautiful, although expensive, place to visit. For us, it was a plane ride to Seattle and a change of planes to Calgary. There we rented a car and drove to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper. Simple and easy this is a lovely trip. Even in summer you will need warm clothing especially at the ice fields. 
     For us, this was the beginning of a loop that took us back to Waterton National Park, Canada then south to Glacier and then west to Flathead Lake before going north and back to Banff and Calgary. 
     Not everyone has three weeks to spare, but it was a great trip. We love Canada and Canadians.  One reminder, in he old days the border as wide open. Any identification would do. Now you need a passport. 
     Does anyone else think the name Banff needs one more vowel?
