Banff NP (Tunnel Trailer Park) (Day 2) - Banff, AB


Top of Sulphur Mountain - Banff, Alberta
Well, we have a full day in Banff.  It's Canada Day weekend, so everyplace is packed with people.  So first on our list is a hearty breakfast.  We decided to bike to town, they said it was only a 10 minute bike ride...yeah, 10 minutes down the hill 30 minutes back. According to a Trip Advisor, the best breakfast place is Melissa's Missteak.  They must make hollandaise sauce in five gallon tubs, the place was packed and everyone was having a Benny (that's what us Canadians call Eggs Benedict).  After biking back (I'm glad that Ded is as out of shape as I am...when she gets to the point of having to walk her bike up the hill, it's about two nanoseconds before I would have quit.  She says, "just go ahead!"...I say, "it's okay, I'll walk with you"

We took the RV to the Sulpher Mountain Gondola, but there was no parking, so we took it back to the campsite and took the bus to the gondola...although there were thousands of people there, it only took about an hour to get to the ride up the mountain....at the top was a boardwalk...we haven't done a boardwalk in months...this one had a total of 300 steps and went right to the top of the mountain.

Although we thought about doing dinner in town, there were just too many people, so we just went back to our campsite for a five-o'clock "grape" juice.  Really, an alchohol ban on Canada Day week-end.   Canada, we thought you were better than that!
