Canadian Rockies and Banff Canada (07/23)


It is time to say goodbye to our friends in Kelowna and Scotch Creek and head to Banff.  This is suppose to be a spectacular drive up the Trans Canadian Highway.  It did not disappoint.


When we were driving into Kelowna we thought it looked a lot like driving into Flagstaff, while driving to Banff we see similarities with Montana and Wyoming.  The Canadian Rockies are magnificent.  The pictures I am sharing with you were taken through the windshield of our truck.  I was surprised how good they came out.

To me these looked a lot like the Superstition Mts.  They even had a flatiron.
















They have built these great tunnels, or bridges over the highway for all wildlife to cross safely.  What a great idea!











The Tunnel Mountain Campground we are staying at is a 40 minute walk to Banff. There is so much traffic in Banff that it is not fun to drive there.  There is also a multitude of nationalities there.  We did not meet many Americans while staying here.  A lot of Asians, New Zealand and English.  It was kind of cool hearing all the different languages spoken and the different accents.  Once settled in we did drive into town and it took quite sometime to find a parking place.  But once we did it is a great town to walk around and get good ice cream!!!!.
