Banff Gondola

In the afternoon we took a trip up Sulphur Mountain in the gondola at Banff.




In the photo above you can see the Bow River and the town of Banff is on the left If you enlarge the photo you can just see the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel in the middle.




The views on the way up are stunning. At the top of the gondola there are walking tracks that take you to the lookouts. On the way we saw mountain sheep and a brown squirrel. There was a lot of thick deep snow at the summit.

On the observation deck we found out just how far it is from here to NZ.

In the evening it was so light that we hiked along the Bow River. It was so still and glassy. The walking track is along the left bank.

This is the jetty where we put in our canoe during the day.
