Canmore/Banff











Arrived in Calgary last night at 9:30p.m., got the rental car and were at our hotel in 10 minutes. Got up this morning and took a one hour ride to Canmore which is at the entrance to Banff NP. Its a quaint little town and we are staying in a really nice mountain resort. I'll post pics of it later. Once we arrived we couldn't check in till later so we headed out to a hike in Canmore which turned out to be great. It was a steep climb up for about 1 and 1/2 mile then you come to two pristine lakes called Grassi Lakes. The whole way up we kept getting closer to high peaks all around us and they were snow filled. We were all bundled up since it was around 45 degrees but by the time we got to the top we peeled off our jackets for a few minutes. Tomorrow off to Banff NP. Can't wait.
