No lions, No tigers.. But bears, Oh My

What started out as a drive to Cochrane, ended up being a hike in Banff!


As you can see it was everyone else's idea too.... good thing we weren't trying to get away from traffic??

2 minutes in we saw a black bear crossing the road....


We started out on a hike to see the Bow Falls, and saw this reassuring sign...someone added a truthful addition to it.

the trail begins...

The water was churning...

a glimpse of the Banff Springs Hotel from the opposite side

on the trail, hanging on

a peek thru the trees....

the rugged terrain and beautiful sunshine


last glimpse before heading back

Down town Banff


Stopped at McDonalds for food and finally ice cream!
