After working and getting a half day to play, I headed out of Calgary toward Banff National Park. It is a little drive across the Trans-Canada Hwy. The drive itself, once outside of Calgary, is beautiful. I didn’t have a lot to time so I had to quickly pick one item to do. I decided to go to Banff and go up Sulphur Mountain on the gondola. This is a nice, long ride up the mountain, peaking over 7500 ft. Once at top, the views are spectacular. I decided to go ahead and walk the just over .7 mile walk up (up as in platform and steps; at over 7500 ft.) to the Cosmic Ray Station. The views of Banff, the Fairmont and the rivers/lakes along with the mountains are indescribable. Who can say God is not great and does not have a plan? Majestic lands like this can only be created by the One Creator.
Molly & I have been to Lake Louise several years ago but had not been down to Banff. I can say this is one beautiful country and a nice little city. If ever up in Calgary, need to find a few days to visit Banff National Park.
