After a home cooked breakfast in the hotel room, we headed to Lake Louise. The weather today seems to be back on our side. Since there are 9 clock was morning, the lake was still in shadow and only a few mountains were lit by the sun. The silence was broken ever, Japanese aks a bus was released. So we drove on to the neighboring Moraine Lake. Again, this was still in shadow.
next target was the Yoho National Park. The little sister of Banff and Jasper is far less known but just as beautiful. Are situated there as There, the Takakkaw waterfalls that are among the highest in Kanda. Another highlight was the Emerald Lake. As its name suggests, shines in this beautiful Smaragdton, to the mountains - great! On the way back to Banff National Park, we were still passing a Natural Bridge. The water here has drilled its way through the rocks and thus created a natural bridge. It could run it, however. 
we made our next stop in Banff. We decided at short notice because of the beautiful weather with the Mount Sulphur Gondola to about 2200m to go. But we were having a splendid view of the surrounding Mountains of the Rocky Mountains and Banff rewarded. We took a short hike to weather station before the cable car again went down.
about 16:30 clock we left the Banff National Park, reaching 17.50 clock Calgary, the Olympic city of 1988. As the sun was still shining, we drove straight into the city and went to the Calgary Tower. In a dizzying height you can stand on a glass floor and look over a hundred meters down. We enjoyed the view of the emerging city and the surrounding plains. On the horizon, one could still imagine the Rocky Mountains.
made after dark we are the hotel Comfort Inn and shot a couple of skyline shots.
In the hotel we have a heated pool with a slide! Of course we had to try out.
Tomorrow we will probably have no Internet. The trip report and pictures for this post will follow later.
