We set off from Lake Louise towards the town of Banff. This is probably the most popular town in the Canadian Rockies. It is a small and very picturesque place which sits in the middle of Bow Valley, with the Bow River running through it.
To get there, we again took the Bow Valley Parkway, and again hoped to spot some wildlife. This time we were lucky enough to spot a Black Bear crossing the road, but unfortunately it seems he had places to be as we weren't able to spot him after he'd disappeared back into the trees!
After a brief detour to view the nearby Vermillion Lakes, we arrived in a rainy Banff and at our next hotel, the Hidden Ridge Resort. This is atop a mountain on the outskirts of Banff called Tunnel Mountain. We were far too early to check-in, so we caught a bus back down to Banff to have a look around town and do some souvenir shopping.
To end the day, we had a meal at one of our favourite restaurants in town, and then returned to the hotel.
