Walking in the Rockies - Stroll to Banff Falls

---

After a full Western breakfast, Ann and I drifted along Banff Avenue to the Bow River. The warm sunshine encouraged us to take the riverside path, just to see what people were doing. When the pedestrian bridge loomed over us, we crossed it. The shady path enticed us further along, as we joined other tourists on the gentle trek. Where the river narrowed, the sound of rapids drew us up stairs and down stairs, up the path and down the path. Our reward was the crashing water of Bow Falls, and the placid beach where boaters launched onto the river.

A long time
It's been a long time since I've done that walk. You're right - it's fabulous. As are your photos, especially the reflection one.

Ahhhh, Banff....
A one-day trip to Banff can feel like a weekend away and these pictures encourage me to get there again soon. Thanks, Judith.

Ahhh, Banff
Yes, the one short day seemed to have the refreshment of a longer trip.
