Canadian Rocky Mountains
This past weekend, we took a mini family holiday to Banff, Alberta {in Banff National Park}. I say ‘mini’ because the area is close enough to be termed our backyard. This photo is
Lake Minnewonka, a short drive from the town of Banff. Beautiful, isn’t it?

Stay tuned for more more posts on our stay in Banff, and our travel review of the
Douglas Fir Resort.
Have you ever been to Banff?
If this is your first time visiting my WW posts,
know that I am anything but Wordless. Ha!

The closest I’ve ever gotten to Banff, Canada is when there’s a contestant that wins the trip on Let’s Make a Deal. LOL
It’s like a Postcard picture just perfect.

I’m a faithful follower!

I’ve never been to Banff but I’ve been to Jasper and it’s beautiful there. Did anyone know that Ryan Smyth was born in Banff ;)?

We’re only 3 hours from Banff and we love going up there! It’s so beautiful no matter what the season 🙂
I absolutely love Banff, it is one of the most beautiful places in the world as far as I’m concerned. When you drive through the Rockies you realize how small we all are!
I have been to Banff a few times and each time I go back I am still amazed how beautiful it is.
I did comment on here about photography thought it was here but I comment so much I am lost! Any way gods country is what I call it and great pics!
You’re so lucky to live so close. We went one summer & liked it so much we took holidays there again the next year!
