Kananaskis Country
The drive from Calgary to Canmore (near Banff) took us through some spectaular scenery and up towards the rocky mountains ... the temperatures started to drop further from here on in.
The journey took us through an area known as Kananaskis Country. There is actually a small town called Kananaskis, but this just seemed to be some sort of mining operation surrounded by a few houses. Before reaching Kananaskis we passed through Peter Lougheed Provincial Park, this took us up pretty high into the mountains, which is where most of the really snowy pictures were taken. This day also brought our first encounters with some real Canadian wildlife.
We were probably the last to find out about Canmore, but just in case we weren’t.... A couple of people suggested to us that we stay in Canmore instead of Banff. It’s only about 14 miles away and it seems to be a bit cheaper at the moment.
