Day #2 of Wows!




Different friends that had visited Banff National Park in Canada had told us that it was a very beautiful place. They were not wrong! In many ways the Canadian Rocky's are different from the US Rocky Mountains but they are all WOW! We spent most of the day in the park enjoying the view. A special treat was taking the Gondola ride to high above the town of Banff. Yes, Don survived the ride!!

The crowds here were some of the largest that we have seen on our trip. It is very much a "United Nations" of people. However, this was a very friendly group of people. We visited with people from Oregon, Ontario, and Illinois. (K & J, they had a brother who had lived in Chilly.)

Tonight, we are staying at a small town just west of the park called Golden. After we stopped, we noticed that one of the back tires on the van wasn't looking so good. We found a tire store and bought 2 new ones. Tomorrow morning we will head south again toward the US border.
