After Vancouver, we headed to our 10-day adventure in the Canadian Rockies - we spent 3 nights each in Banff, then Jasper, then Canmore.
Pizza takeaway for our first meal
We landed a little late, picked up the rental car, and spent about 1-2 hours driving to Banff from Calgary Airport. The roads are pitch black :O
26/4 - Banff Gondola, Wild Flour Bakery (for soup and sandwiches), gin distillery and tasting tour, dinner. Very very nice to see snow (unexpected!)
27/4 - The Frozen Lake Louise, Trailhead Cafe, Johnson Lake, dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory
Johnson Lake was a personal favourite of mine - it was really quiet and beautiful, lake was still half frozen. We walked a full round, which was very manageable. There were very few people around but whenever we ran into other hikers, they would be quick to say 'good day' with a friendly smile :)
28/4 - Johnston Canyon, Peyto Lake, drive to Jasper, Korean House!
We had really wonderful Airbnb hosts in Jasper. Great personal touch!
29/4 - First day in Jasper, Jasper Skytram, Lake Edith, Lake Annette
Freezing is what we were
I wore yoga leggings - big joke
Absolute bestie
1/5 - Our drive to Canmore, Bear Paw Bakery, Emerald Lake, Cave & Basin, dinner at Tavern
2/5 - Exploring Canmore as our glacier tour got cancelled because it was too early in the season it seems! We went swimming.
Post-swim :)
3/5 - More hiking and walks around Canmore, as well as visiting Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, surprise lookout, and the hoodoos
Our time in the Rockies made infinitely more special because of you :)
