Canada, eh? Two Days in Banff
Banff is a charming resort town set in the Canadian Rockies, known for its hiking, skiing and scenery. It’s a bit like an Aspen of the north: a little ritzy and luxurious, with some olde world charm. On the whole, it’s a nice town, albeit a bit touristy.

Eric and I explored the area by hiking…with bear spray in tow.
As you can see, most signs were displayed in two languages. It’s been fun to pick up a few words and sayings here and there – it reminds me of time spent as a kiddo in Louisiana. It seems like half of my classmates there spoke Cajun French, and I still remember some songs we used to sing, like “Frere Jacques.”
Anyway, Eric and I did a bit of hiking in the area over the two days we stayed; here are some pictures from The Toe Trail.
Love the steep cliff illustration on this one.
This photo has a bit of a Snake River and the Tetons feel to it, no?
