The times we have stayed in Banff for the weekend, we've chosen to stay at The Inns Of Banff Hotel. No big deal. The freaky thing is that my cousin Lauren spent 6 months in Banff on a working holiday a couple of years back. Of the many hotels in Banff (and there are stacks of them) she used to work at the very hotel we've been staying at.
Like I said. It's a small world.
We had a nice view from the balcony of the (upgraded) room this time around.
The hotel above is one that I've seen in plenty of travel books and advertisements, the Fairmount Banff Springs. The funny thing is, of all the times I've been to Banff, I've never seen it. On our way home to Calgary we took a slightly different road to normal and stumbled on this famous hotel. The photo below is taken across Bow Falls at Surprise Bend.
You may remember a photo of Piss Weak World (The Hoodoos) near Drumhellar. The Hoodoos near Banff (left of picture) are bigger and much better preserved. I'm still not that impressed by the whole concept.
The photo was taken more for the island in the middle of the bow river than the hoodoos.
