Banff national park Day 5 This morning was a 6am wake up so we could make the 2hr journey to Columbia ice fields where we were partaking in a glacier hike. We tried to fill the car up with petrol but it wasn't open, we waited a bit and then carried on saying we will get it later then realised 20mins into the journey there wasn't going to be a town for us to stop at so we had to turn back. This made us rush a bit when we wanted to go slow so we could spot the wi...

Banff National park Day 4 Today we opted for a more relaxing vibe and went over towards Banff town to ride the gondola up sulphur mountain over looking the bow valley. It's named after the thermal springs that emanate from its base, this peak is a perfect viewing point. It takes less than 10mins in an enclosed cable car to get to the top, or you could hike to the top zig zagging on a 5.6km trail. No thanks!! Up there we walked along the boardwalks to sanson pe...

It is named after queen Victoria's fourth daughter, it is a turquoise tinted lake and ...

Banff National park. Day 1 We got up leisurely, had breakfast and went to collect our car. It was a black Chevrolet Sonic. Perfect little 5 door car. The drive from Calgary to lake Louise was amazing the roads were practically empty the scenery was beautiful and the car was a delight to drive! It was just one road all the way there. We got there in about 2.5hrs, stopping for a food break half way! We had a bit of trouble finding our hotel at first as there are...
