Rocky Mtn Road


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick  
Rocky Mtn Road
Rocky Mtn Road

This is one of many pretty views of a Rocky Mountain In
Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.

Taken while driving down off of Tunnel Mountain. Banff Townsite Area.

Ron, Shirley, Kiki and Leif have all been here, too.

Ron-The Rocky Mtn we see here is the same one you and Shirley attempted to climb up that
had so much gravel at the base (and the cascading water fall coming down from the top).

It MIGHT be the FRONT of Mt Norquay.

It's the one right in front of a person as they take the Banff Townsite Exit.

IT'S SO WONDERFUL THAT CANADA HAS THAWED OUT FROM WINTER and
WE CAN ONCE AGAIN ENJOY IT'S GREAT BEAUTY and SAFE ROADS!!!

YEEHAW! I get first go! This is a beautiful mountain scene Laura! I can't Imagine you not having a really great time during your stay in the mountains! Just keep an eye on those bears, I don't think they have much of a sense of humor!

  Hey John! Lol...YAH! BEAR SPRAY. We will soon be heading into the most bear populated area in Banff National Park. (EEK!) BUT I CANT PASS UP THE CHANCE TO SEE ALL OF THE BEAUTY THERE!!! It's worth the risk. Just ask our BP family who have seen it for themselves!

So happy to see you here first! Have a lovely day!

  Laura you are so cruel don't you think Kiki. LOL. Sure is a beauty Laura, love to be there. It was a year ago wasn't some where around there. If you had our temps you would be more than thawed out.

  Hi Steve, Monnie, Stef and Ron!

Ron, can you belive we still have snow caps on most of the Rockies and especially the sides that face north?

WELL THIS NEXT WEEK IT WILL ALL THAW. We will get near 90* weather if they are right about their predictions.

Those bears will be HUNGRY, HOT and CRANKY by the time we get to them! (GASP!)

Thank you all for the kind words and observations! :)
I wonder if Kiki and Leif are having hot weather too??? Hmmm...let's wait and see what she tells us.

Bye for now all!

  Laura, you tourist guides all the same, just, showing the front of the mountain, and keeping the backside for yourselves, so next time I go to Banff, I'm going on the back side of this mountain, see you there lol
