The Rockies – Banff – Sulphur Mountain

 

and then we got to Banff which is more visited than Jasper but we didn't think quite so pretty. Still some really great sights

Day one was sunny so was the perfect day to get the gondola up Sulphur Mountain.

Once you get off the gondola you can walk, climb about half a mile to get to the peak

Nice looking golf course but sadly no time to play

Stunning views – put these 3 together and that is pretty much the 360 view from the top

So the gondola takes about 8 minutes each way. I thought it would be fun to walk down which was fine for about half the way and then...... could hardly walk for a couple of days afterwards. I guess I do have calf muscles after all!
