Banff National Park

---

Banff is absolutely beautiful. We have been on the go since we got here. Everywhere you look is beauty. The bike trails are great as well as the walking/hiking trails. We have been to Bow Falls, the Fairmont, the Hot Springs, Lake Minnetanka, Tunnel Mountain Resort, hiked to the HooDoos, and of course cruised the town and shops. I went for a walk/hike today to Vermillion Lake while Jim took a nap but was unable to continue my hike due to the trail closure due to bear activity. Later on the trail I ran across a guy that said there was a momma grizzly and 3 cubs, the momma was very agitated and appears she wants to be rid of her cubs which are grown enough to be on their own. I am just glad the trail was closed before I wandered out to the lake........I am very frightened of bears. Tomorrow, we head out to Jasper. Cannot wait until my eyes behold Lake Louise and Moraine Lake! I hear the Hwy 1 and 93 are just one picture after another!
