Banff




We arrived in Banff and experienced some of the worst weather of our trip, heavy rain, lightning and thunder but you still can enjoy the Rockies.
Having been to Banff before we didn't need to do all of the tourist things again so we went for a walk up Tunnel Mountain and we timed it right with the weather and got lovely views over Banff.
We also visited the Banff Springs Hot Pools, I have to say not quite as impressive as say The Blue Lagoon but it was nice and relaxing and quite cool when it rained.
The next day we drove to Lake Minniewanka and went for a walk to Stewart Canyon. We also drove around Two Jack Lake and walked around Johnson Lake.
On the way out of Banff we stopped to climb up Castle Mountain, it was a very steep trek and quite exhausting, but at the top we could see for miles and got lovely views of the Rockies.

No drinks at Outtabounds, watched Talledega nights though and the story of Ricky Bobby the man with two first names is pretty funny, Hasn't grown on me like Anchorman yet but a few more viewings and I'll be quoting it like the bible. The half side of ham thats been hanging of the back of the van is starting to draw some curious glances when we pull into campgrounds ;)
