Default Pics from my trip to Banff National Park and Calgary! Awesome mountains!

I just got back from a week in Calgary visiting a friend of the female persuasion. We spent two days in Banff, which is a small mountain town in Banff National Park. Here are a few select pictures from my trip.

Downtown Calgary


The view looking down the main street in Banff


Taken from the same spot as the previous pic looking in a different direction


Awesome sign after getting off the gondola at the top of one of the smaller mountains


The mountain behind our hotel


View from the weather station on top of one of the mountains


View of Banff from the weather station


Some more from that weather station










Moraine Lake way up in the mountains (glacier-fed lake)


This pic shows the color of the water at Moraine Lake better


A cool glacier near Moraine Lake


Another cool glacier


Cool mountain


Our private hot tub on our large, private balcony in the Presidential Suite


The view from our hot tub. I was in it most of the night and then again first thing in the morning.


These white-tail deer were just wandering around the streets of town


We did a lot more than just Banff while I was there, but I thought these were some cool pictures. My first time to the Rockies (and first real trip to Canada, as well).

Did a family vacation up there a few years ago. What an amazing place. I would go back in a heartbeat.

My wife and I have been twice. Once on our honeymoon and once for our five year anniversary. Both times, we stayed in the Fairmont and we went the week of US Thanksgiving, which is their one down week of the year. It was really nice having the hotel to ourselves, but we had to plan meals carefully, since some restaurants closed early in the week and others closed later.

Here are some of our pics: http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y25.../Banff%202006/
