Red Poppies, the River, and the Rain

The Great Canadian Caravan (Part 4)

Day 4 starts with a great breakfast in our hotel, the Mount Royal. Then we head off to a drive around Banff just to get the layout and learn a bit of it's history.

One stop was exciting for all...
 Banff National Park Administration Building
and
The Cascades of Time Garden

Red Poppies

Interesting Wood

Then is was off to the Bow River

Where I was reminded of a scene from the deck of the TITANIC

Rapids, Rocks, and Falling Trees


Luckily we returned safely to shore an hour later. Then we were free for the rest of the day to enjoy Banff and the rain that started to fall a short time later. We did enjoy ourselves by visiting a First Nations trading post and a natural history museum, and window shopping down the main street.
