Banff Trip

Columbia ice fields - athabasca glacier, 5 others 

Columbia Ice field Skywalk…glass-bottomed…918 feet above the Sunwapta Valley

Big bend viewpoint 
Weeping wall viewpoint
Mistaya canyon - 0.5 km trek down. Gushing water and gorgeous views
Saskatechwan crossing
Peyto lake gorgeous panoramic views 

Day 2
Lake Louise
Lake moraine
Watch out for parking running out. You have to take a bus which will have really long long lines. Best to go really early and park there. 

Day 3
Banff Gondola & observation deck
What views! But too too windy
Hot springs are right there, but wasn’t worth it. Was more like a communal pool. I didn’t get in
Just sat on a bench and stared at the sky
Lake minnewanka cruise - surprisingly very entertaining and great views again. 
Drive back to Calgary n stayed at a hotel near the airport 
Woke up at 3.30 to get on a 6.45 flight!
