This morning we visited Moraine Lake. We unsuccessfully looked
for Pika in the rocks. These are tennis
ball sized guinea pigs. I thought the critters we did see were Lesser Squirrels
but in fact they are Golden Mantle Squirrels.
We took a gondola ride above Banff to Sulpher Mountain that
provided excellent views over our hotel and the Banff township and very high
winds at the lookout – it certainly made it memorable.
We had 90 minutes to explore the town before we arrived at
our hotel. Apparently Banff stands for, “Be Aware, Nothing, For, Free.”
Here is the view from our hotel room.
Our evening meal is at a place called Wild
Bills. It was named in honour of Bill
Peyto, the lake of the same name. The food was wholesome and included corn
bread. The entertainment was OK but
country and western music, combined with line dancing wasn’t really our thing.
Before the dancing...aaargh!
