Going to the capital of Canadian Rockies I decided not to drive via transcanadian highway but to make detour via Kananaskis Country. Landscapes were beautiful – there is a chain of lakes, but the road was gravel only… Can you imagine 55 km on the gravel? My car survived anyway and we finally landed in Banff Youth Hostel (28 C$ per night, sheets included).
While in Banff and the visibility is good it is worth to take gondola ride to the top of Mt Sulphur (21,10 C$ – no discounts!)
It was early morning when I was there – very cold but panoramic view was fantastic…
