Day 4 - Banff campground was an interesting place. It did not offer much privacy, but it had an amazing view of the mountains. The weather in Banff was quite cool. Some mornings it was only 4 degrees when we woke up. Our first day in Banff we headed to Johnston Canyon for a hike. We hiked for a couple of hours in the canyon and saw some amazing waterfalls and scenery. We stopped for a little snack at the upper falls and then headed back down the canyon. On the way home we saw some Elk along the side of the ride and were able to pose for a picture at a safe distance. Some people ventured even closer than we did - crazy!!!! We had an amazing supper that evening at Grizzly's Fondue. We cooked bison, elk, venison, beef, shrimp, lobster and chicken on a hot stone at our table that was 600 degrees and then dipped the meat into a variety of sauces. Sooooo yummy!!! For dessert, we had a chocolate toblerone fondue with fresh fruit. The kids LOVED this meal and wanted to do it again the next day. We said only if they were buying.
Day 5 - We headed to Lake Louise in the morning and were once again not disappointed. Mackenzie had the idea to rent a canoe, so that's what we did. We had a hour to explore the lake in our canoe. It was so peaceful and beautiful. The kids even helped with the paddling every now and then. After our canoe ride, we had worked up a bit of an appetite and it was lunch time, so we checked out the fancy hotel and had a fancy lunch with fancy hot chocolate and coffee! Yummy once again. The evening was spent checking out the shops in the town of Banff.
Day 6 - During our last day in Banff, we checked out some more of the town sites, hiked by the Bow Falls, walked through the Banff Springs hotel and just relaxed at our camper.
