Welcome to Banff & The Canadian Rockies
FRIDAY July 6th, 2007
We took the kids swimming in the hot springs pool above the town of Banff – mostly an adult adventure that held little interest for the kids. A waste of cash there. No A/C needed tonite; we arrived to temps around 80 opened the windows and had a nice breeze high on the hill. We were put to sleep by the pitter pat of rain on our fiberglass housing, but woke to a cool dry morning. We had an awesome campsite with incredible views – yours for the reasonable price of $40 / nite. A bit pricey given the Canadian dollar has recovered and is now virtually on par with the greenback.
The kids have entertained themselves with their Gameboys, reading assignments for next year’s school work, and playing cards – primarily “War”. It is called that for a reason as everyone in the campground knew where we were playing cards.

We drove to Banff NP today. Lots of traffic – much more than anticipated. We saw some Big Horn sheep on the way as we pass thru Kootenay NP – very cool. When we got to our campsite in Banff, there were elk wandering the campground and mule deer in the early morning hours.
