I love this spot! So beautiful Emile and you did such a great job here!!!

Next time you are here you will have to take the Gondola ride up Sulpher Mountain. Breathtaking views of Banff Townsite from up there as well as Lake Minnewanka and the Bow River!

Did you take the Gondola and I haven't made it to those photos yet???

Really lovely work here!!! :D
