Banff

Pat's friends lives in Banff.  We are staying with them.

Today I hiked up Tunnel Mountain.  It used to be called buffalo mountain because it's shape looks like a buffalo lying down.  It was renamed Tunnel mountain because a railway surveyor had planned to build a tunnel through it.  He decided to run the train around the mountain instead, but the name stuck.

This is one of my favourite mountains I've seen.  I could see it from the highway going into Banff, but this was taken from Tunnel Mountain. I like this one because to me it looks two dimensional against the sky.

I forget what these are called but they bloom in winter through snow.

These were near the trail on Tunnel Mountain.  The deer come into the town because they are safer from predators.  They graze everywhere- school yards, parking lots... Visitors get excited to see them.  People who live here say they're really annoying because they get in the way on the side walk.
