Day 184 - 22nd October 2018 - Lake Louise, The Gondola and Elk

Sunday was a once in a life time kind of day and we ticked stuff off of the bucket list like crazy. We had a great day - probably walked at least 20 miles (surely I'll lose weight on this trip), saw and experienced some great things. After breakfast we drove out to Lake Louise, a quick look around the village then walked to and down along the lake. Absolutely stunning with the mountains on three sides and a huge hotel on the other. From there we had a quick lunch and headed to Sulphur Mountain to bravely ride the Gondola up the Mountain (7864 feet above Banff). So yes it was like sitting in a little pop can but it was such an awesome experience. Being afraid of heights I wasn't sure if I could do it but it's enclosed and I didn't mind at all! We checked out all the sights from the observatory decks then went back down. Drove back into Banff to take a look at the famous big hotel - (can't remember the name) checked out Bow Falls and realized we had not seen any animals yet and Elk were on our to do/find list. Yup we found them - lots and lots. After a long and exciting day we headed back to the hotel, had supper and Jenny and I hit the hot pool again to ease our tire feet. Today we are going to do a hike on the trail at Johnson's Canyon and then head for Fort Mac.

Enjoy your day!
