August 26, 2010: Day 8, Banff, Lank Louise, and Wind!


A bit of geocaching near our campground.

 Visiting Banff village and visitor center.

 Johnston Canyon Trail 

 Castle Mountain



 Lake Louise

 BEAR! 

Geocaching!

We were planning on camping at McLeod Meadows, we had even started cooking dinner and setting up the tent.  With 50 mph sustained winds it was not safe and trees were snapping and breaking all over the campground, we threw our stuff in the car and headed for cover in Radium Hot Springs.
