...is Banff, Canada. I maybe should qualify that by saying of all the places I, personally, have been Banff is my favorite. We were here last year (the picture used at the top of our blog was taken on that visit here) and loved every part of our visit. I think the pictures maybe say more than I can.
These pictures were from our drive from Radium Hot Springs into the park. On our drive we saw many big horn sheep, deer and a wolf! Right on the side of the road!
Banff is my happy place. Here we are having a picnic up the side of a mountain that overlooks the valley. A train sounded it's whistle when we up there and we watched it wind through the town like some little model train set or something. We spent the afternoon reading in the botanical gardens. Did I mention I love this town? It was designed as a tourist town way back in the day to try to get travelers to take the train to this beautiful place. I would say, drive, hitch hike or skateboard. Just get here someday.
And when you come, be sure to stop by Barpa Bills for the very best Gyro you have ever, ever had. We made friends with Bill last year, eating there two times. This year we got to know his son, who remembered my parents who stopped in July when driving from Seattle to Lakeside. We ate here two times again in two days.
This was a lake we passed in Montana on our way to Canada. I'm standing on a dock in the middle of a public camp site. It was absolutely breathtaking.
Now we're back on the road. Today we're driving to Vancouver, a ten hour drive, we've been told.
