The starting point of the
Johnston Canyon Trail. |
|
|
This trail leads through a canyon to two
water falls. |
Here are the 'Lower Falls' |
|
|
When you enter the little cave you can come
real close to the water fall. |
Moraine Lake. You can
hear the quietness here. |
|
|
Another view of Moraine Lake, the most
beautiful lake we have seen this trip. A 360° picture
can be found here. |
Lake Louise, another beautiful
lake. It's more crowded here with tourists than at
Moraine Lake. |
|
|
Lake Louise. |
The Fairmont
Chateau Lake Louise. Built in the times that the
Canadian Pacific Railroad was built. It's a hotel in
Chateau style.
This side looks out over Lake Louise. |

Back in Banff we take the Banff
Gondola to Sulphur Mountain. The gondola takes you
from 1583 m to 2281 m, the top of Sulphur Mountain. It
gives you a stunning view over Banff and its
surroundings. |
|
|
Here we're standing near the upper terminal
of the Banff Gondola. From there you can take a walk to
the real summit called 'Sanson's Peak', as you see on
this photo. It's a lot of climbing up and down. But they
have made stairs for everyone... |
Here we are, on Sanson's Peak.
Now were looking at the upper terminal of the Banff
Gondola. Here on Sanson's Peak there is an old
observatory, built in 1903. |
|
|
A look down from Sanson's Peak. Way down you
can see Banff. |
|
Down in Banff. Shops and restaurants in this
street. |
The Banff Railway Station.
Many long cargo trains pass here.
There's a fine restaurant in the old station
building. |
