This post is a continuation of a previous post . I am gradually putting together photos from road trips I made with my family .
So,On the 3rd day of our trip, we left our friends in Regina, Saskatchewan , and drove westward to Calgary, Alberta, to visit another friend.
After 2 days in Calgary, we visited Banff National park.
Banff National park is about 2 hours drive west from Calgary. It is in the Rocky mountains, very picturesque all year round. The park was established in 1885.
It is a beautiful park, with mountainous terrain and glaciers. We hope to visit next time and spend at least 2 nights in Banff, because there is no way one can explore the 6,641 square kilometers the park encompasses in one day.☺
