A strange night last night... due to the flight yesterday and the time difference, we both slept well, but were wide awake at 1:00 am! Down for breakfast for 7 o'clock – on a Saturday! (Breakfast was great.)
Collected the car from Hertz and set off, we wanted to avoid the main “Trans Canadian “ highway, and so opted for the quieter(!) 1a, which took us to Cochrane and Canmore, before reaching the main Highway and entering Banff National Park. Roads are great and scenery is already wonderful – apparently it gets better!
We got to Banff by lunchtime, (it's only 120 km), and so we headed for Sulphur mountain to ride up on the cable car. The views were good as the weather is warm and sunny, at the top I continued up a board walk to an historic “Weather station” type hut thingy, whilst Jan sat at the peak-top cafe and relaxed....
On the way back to our hotel - the “Caribou lodge”, we actually saw a caribou! At the roadside munching the grass and causing a traffic jam!
