NORTH TO ALASKA –Banff N P in Alberta, Canada


TRIP DAYS –14&15  
DAILY MILES  - 13th 8, 14th 8, 15th ?
TOTAL MILES - 2570

6/29 – We have spent three wonderful days in Banff.  I can’t believe Alaska will have anything that can top this.  Today is our fourth day and tomorrow we move on to Lake Louise, just 36 miles north.  While in Banff we visited the following: Banff Parks Museum, Whyte Museum, Cave & Basin National Historic Site, Cascade Gardens, Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel and Bow Falls.  Also, we had ice cream cones at the Cow, advertised as Canada’s Best, which cost $4.25 a single dip.  Good, but not that good.  Today we are headed to the grocery, gas station and the library to post this update.  It may be a few days before we get another connection, but we’ll see you up the road.
