Rocky Mountains

I'm really achy and tired. Walked over 15km since arriving in Banff in the Rocky Mountains yesterday, and a lot of those metres have been vertical ones. View definitely worth it once at the top.

Flew into Calgary late Monday night, but didn't get to the hostel until after midnight. The hostel check in said they would wait up, but they hadn't :(

So drove around Calgary and took some photos to say I'd been there and kept driving towards Banff. Didn't get too far until too tired (after 2am) and slept on the side of the road (and it's friggin cold once the car heater is off).

The sun woke me up and looking out the car windows ..... I'm in the middle of huge mountains! Snow tipped, pine covered mountains! And they just got closer and closer.

Stopped into Lake Minnewanka (pronounced Mini-wonka ;) on the way to Banff and that early in the morning their was Elk and other smaller deer. So the lack of sleep was worth it.

Banff from Sulphur Mountain (yes, I hiked all the way up):
