We caught the bus into town, and then another to the gondola station (there wasn't a chance we'd be hiking up!). After a short wait, we ascended to the peak of the mountain and got out to enjoy to views. The peak of the mountain has an elevated wooden walkway which leads up to an old weather station.
We were lucky with the weather. Apart from a few clouds we had good visibility of the surrounding mountain ranges and across the Bow Valley. It was a bit chilly though, so after taking in the views for a while, we decided to set off back down.
It seems everyone else there had the same idea as us though - the queue for the gondola down warned we'd be waiting about an hour! It was about at this point that a herd of Bighorn Sheep showed up and started eating underneath the elevated walkway.
We descended the mountain and returned to Banff where we decided to have an early tea, another quick walk around town, and then returned to the hotel.
