RR episode 3 - to Banff

We finished off the Icefields Parkway the following day stopping at Mistaya Canyon, Peyto Lake, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake before arriving in Banff.

The hotel we had been booked in at had had some water damage and we were moved to the place we had stayed at with Helen, Peter and the girls. We had two apartments and were very comfy!

We were just in time to catch the Park Rangers' performance we had so enjoyed last time. Liam loved singing along. Phoebe wasn't so keen on the guy dressed up as a wolverine trying to touch her! We followed that up with the good fish and chip deal we discovered with Peter, Cheryl and Amelia last time.

The next day was in Banff and we went up Sulphur Mountain, visited the Cascade Gardens and then explored the Whytte Museum where we discovered a lot about local history, families and identities, including Mary Schaeffer, an early 20th century explorer and photographer.
