Wow. Banff is past Calgary and in what looks like the middle of the Rockies. I bet there are some fantastic sites up there. I'd never heard of Banff till today. I even thought it was a misspelling but google maps helped ensure me you were right on.
I've often thought of trecking to the Canadian Rockies but it would cut into my boating season ...so no plans to visit there at this point. Looking forward to pics from that area.
