A beautiful day of biking

Well scratch one off Caro's bucket list as last Sunday we went to Canmore to bicycle the Legacy Trail between Canmore and Banff. We left early in the morning enjoying glorious sunshine and little wind. The mountains were awe inspiring with much of the winter snow still remaining on the mountain tops and with the sunshine glittering on the snow it made for a beautiful ride. After an hour visiting in Banff we cycled back to Canmore arriving in mid afternoon with sore butts and tired legs!.

We still had some time so we decided to drive up to Lake Louise. Oops!!! Long weekends with beautiful weather lead to extreme parking problems so we couldn't stop there at all. I imagine the lake would have been magnificent!

I decided to try Johnson Canyon. We got to the canyon area only to discover many cars parked on both sides of the highway. I thought there was no hope of stopping but Caro suggested we try going into the main parking lot and maybe there would be a spot..... SCORE!!!

We hiked to the lower falls (about 1.5 km each way) and spent a few minutes enjoying the views before returning to our vehicle. What a great day we had!
