ernyha Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Great pics. Martin, brought back some memories of 1968. Nice to see the cable car is still running. I was on the floor of the car, too scared to look over the side when I rode it. :*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyCM Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Deako, Banff Springs has stunning views out the back - I only went in there for a drink at one of the bars - had to stay at the cheap end of town The scenery all around is stunning - got a poster of the Lodge of the Ten Peaks (Lake Louise, and a 30/40 minute bus ride away from Banff) on the wall above my desk. Stayed at Lake Louise on the last trip. Spotted lots of wildlife - nearly ran over a few squirrels while skiing and saw a few coyote on the way back to Calgary airport. Lots of cloven hoof stuff. The most stunning for me was seeing a timber wolf on the way to the slopes one morning-evil yellow eyes on them :thumbs: I visited the natural history museum in Banff, worth a look if you have the time - that was the nearest I got to a bear. Have a good trip. Andy CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
