Banff, Alberta

Still worn out from our big hike in Kananaskis the day before, we headed to Banff for a more relaxing day exploring the town.


The hot springs we a welcoming sight for stiff legs and we shared a sandwich in the upstairs restaurant while we waited for the lightning and thunder to stop.

Walking around town we found a 'Cows' ice cream store. If you've ever been to a Cows anywhere in Canada, you know you're getting really good ice cream.


We watched the staff make the waffle cones from scratch
More wandering around town lead us to Banff Ave. Brewing Co. where we got a brewery tour and a sampler of six beers for $14!

There are tons of walking paths around town. We followed one down the river to the Banff Springs Hotel.

I find this picture really funny

At the Banff Springs Hotel we found a life sized checker board where Bill destroyed me in a game. 


Up the road at Castle Mountain we stayed at a hostel and made some delicious stir fry for dinner.
