G'day All,
Since the weather has cleared up a bit we decided to head back to Lake Louise and Banff today to see the lake in better lighting and use the voucher to do the Banff Gondola ride. Definitely much nicer in the sunshine and a nice hike around the lake.

Next it was back to Banff to jump on the Gondola and it was an impressive view from the very top.
Penny did very well up and down in the gondola as it is a very steep ride and very high. Not sure she wants to do too many more high altitude activities lol :-)

As we were leaving Banff there was some commotion just past an intersection which turned out to be everybody taking a look at a group of three elk not more than 10 metres from the road. This guy walked straight towards me and was abut 5 metres away before he decided to turn away.

On the return trip to Lake Louise we did a side hike to Johnston Canyon upper and lower falls.

A big day for my Garmin step tracker with almost 18km racked up buy the end of the day.
Cheers
Gary and Penny
