Beautiful scenic roads all day most of it in Banff National Park. Towering snow covered peaks, rivers, smooth asphalt, and lots of animals make for a great day. Stopped in Banff for lunch at a great little tavern/grill in a basement, following lunch came out to cold wind and rain.
Quickly decided that there was no need to ride any further so found a hotel with underground parking, two room suites, and a bar. In this same bar is where I was introduced to a local beer called Rutting Elk Red which contains twice the alcohol content of US beer. Excellent happy hour helped by a Polish waitress from Krakow who moved to Canada to ski.
We are here at the right time, lots of foreign tourists but the skiers have gone and the heavy summer visitors have not yet arrived.
A beautiful friendly country even if I still can't understand the speed limit (klicks) or the gas prices (liters). North to Lake Louise and Jasper tomorrow...maybe.
