The Cascades Gardens is a little oasis just minutes walking distance from downtown Banff. It’s the perfect place to get off the beaten path.

The gardens are terraced into the hillside with pathways and rock steps that lead through trees and flower beds. Several gazebos and sitting shelters make a great refuge from the day.

Few hotels in the world can rival the majesty, hospitality and scenery of Fairmont Banff Springs. Its unique blend of opulence and seclusion has been a symbol of Rocky Mountain magnificence for more than a century. Styled after a Scottish baronial castle, Fairmont Banff Springs offers stunning vistas, championship golf courses, unparalleled skiing, classic cuisine and Willow Stream, a world class European-style spa. Experience timeless beauty and luxurious comfort in a pristine wilderness.

Like the Fairmont in Lake Louise you better be prepared to shell out some coin should your desires take you here.  It was not within my reach but perhaps with yours.  For those about to rock, we salute you!

My Banff Experience was enjoyable and worthy of some additional time.  This will certainty provide reason for a return in the future.

Day 12 | Canmore, Alberta – Calgary, Alberta, Drumheller, Alberta – Canmore, Alberta

Enjoyed a ride down Highway 1A transferring to Highway 72 and Highway 9 to Drumheller.  Had a nice lunch in Beiseker at a small café in a smaller town.

Drumheller is a town northeast of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. On the edge of town, in Midland Provincial Park, the Royal Tyrrell Museum contains a large collection of dinosaur fossils.

YIKES!

There is a mystery here, waiting to be discovered. It’s carried in the wind… it gets into your bones.
Through sandstone and dust, something wild lives in this landscape. Echoed through history… elevated by adventure.

It’s the spirit of the Canadian Badlands and its right here in Drumheller!

Holy Bang A Gong!



The "World's Largest Dinosaur" is the name of a model Tyrannosaurus rex (T-Rex) and is 86 ft high and a length of 151 ft, considerably larger than the largest known specimens of the actual dinosaur which reached up 42 ft in length, and was up to 13 ft tall at the hips.
