Allan, the master MacGyver, repairs the toilet flusher, bomb style.
All done!
Beyond beautiful !!
Three Sisters is the only mountain name I know. We figured it out because many businesses are named Three Sisters something, ie Taxi, we then put it together! We are so clever!
After our wonderful hike it’s off to Drake’s for a pint
What does Allan’s smile tell you?
Yep, he found another acceptable amber ale 🙂 from Big Rock Brewery Now that we figured out most call it amber they are back to calling it red.
Our favourite bunny, he/she has one white slipper paw
Lucky for Allan, it does. The lady that demo’ed this product outside of the Canadian Tire in Lethbridge said you must apply as a happy face to get the best results!
Been looking forward to this excursion! Such beautiful country. Remember! do not feed the wildlife.
Have to be more on the ball, almost missed the entire sign.
Even though the weather isn’t too favourable we are having a blast. We drive through Banff on the way to the Banff Upper Hot Springs
We know the Springs are closed but thought we’d get a peek. No such luck!
Head back to Banff, and a yummy breakfast at The Maple Leaf
We asked our waitress, (who is originally from Orillia, ON) what are must sees, off the beaten track, as we didn’t want to spend time in the cute boutiques and stores even though most were wearing masks.
She suggested the Farmers Market and then a walk to a waterfall. We pass a bridge keep heading to the falls
Best to use caution!
Drop off is worse than it looks! If you make it through that section you get to walk at the side of the highway
We drive through several of these tunnels, they have fences on both sides. What are they?? Bear crossings of course!
Oh those clouds!!
No shortage of vehicles at Lake Louise
Magnificent Lake Louise!
Go for a hike time. We decide on the Fairview Lookout
Description which we didn’t read until we returned. Lesson learned! “leaving from the boathouse on Lake Louise, this short, uphill hike offers you a unique look at both the lake and the historic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.” Oh my goodness, it just about killed me! I had to stop several times. Allan resting with me
Was it crazy uphill or should I just pack it in??? It was crazy!I wish my photos would better depict elevation!
At least we unknowingly made the right decision on how to return! Steep descent, sturdy shoes or hiking boots.
Heading back
Back in Canmore. We predict the next time we are in the area, this camp ground, within walking distance of downtown, will be condos. Much construction in progress.
Such a beautiful place, Silver Creek is just a 10 minute walk to downtown. We head their using the boardwalkPicture perfect!
They closed the main street to vehicular traffic which is nice.
Allan is going to be adventurous and try The Grizzly Paw’s version of amber ale. Love how craftily, craft breweries, name their beers. Allan tries Rutting Elk Red, which he proclaims acceptable :), I have Rundlestone Session Ale also OK, but I wanted a Beavertail Raspberry Ale, they were sold out. We lucked out, it was Taco Tuesday, $3/ea.
keep heading to the falls
Steep descent, sturdy shoes or hiking boots.
