Still rainy at the downtown in Banff and we escaped to a cafe where we tried a Rhubarb pie. It was maybe the first time to eat at least decent Rhubarb pie after we had left Sweden in 2012 summer. Taste was as it looked like (very good).
Hiking to/from Mt. Tunnel was easy and around 90 minutes trip for both ways. It was deep foggy and no visibility at the top of the mountain.
Day -1 before return to Tokyo. It was a unfortunately cold rainy day. We decided a short hike around Banff. We encountered this long long freight at the Banff station. It was really long and long enough to take around 3 to 4 minutes from the head of the train to the last one.
We continued on the route 93 further up to Hector Lake and stopped by a view spot. She was close looking at glaciers with her binoculars. We wanted to continue more up on the route 93 but it was time to return.
Water color of Lake Bow and changing color of the leaves were even magical and just amazing.
I found out the missing bridge to the trail to Bow Hut, which was a gigantic rock bridging from one side of the canyon to the other. I nagged my wife for further excursion but overruled by her. It was too late for further hike and back.
We decided to go to Lake Bow and trails from there. The original destination was Bow Hut but I did not manage to find the trail. So we diverted to Bow Glacier Falls.
Drove on the route 1 again. It was chilly in that morning, 7 degree Celsius compared to the day before when it was 27 C. What a steep temperature down!
We did not forget to stop by a liquor shop to fetch Canadian craft beers and Chardonnay from Okanagan Valley. Heaven after hiking.
Went down from Big Beehive. We wanted to extend our hike to Plain of 6th Glaciers but gave up because of time constraint. Maybe next time.
Squirrels are not afraid of human in this region and thus, it is easy to take close snapshots for them.
View from Big Beehive to Lake Louise was breathtaking and regular sandwich tasted something special.
