– Banff, Alberta to Banff National Park – Well, today was our big Banff day. We started the morning at 5am, as usual, with a run around Banff National Park. We headed out from the end of the city down the wonderful bicycle path that winds through most of the park. Today was the first…

The thunder was loud enough to wake all of us up, and to really upset Miss Ripley, who is not a fan of thunder. With the storm came dramatically cooler temperatures.
