After our stay at Waterton Lakes, Alberta we headed back to pick up the dogs. Took a quick day hike at Logan Pass in Glacier along the Going to the Sun Rd which was nice. Several mountain goats greeted us. When we arrived at the Triple R Kennel, the dogs were pretty excited to see us. Unfortunately TUK never received his pain meds, b/c the broad there said we never left them. A huge ugly battle of the ladies broke out (too bad no mud or jello around. I had my bets on Sarah.) and we left with the only one hurting out of the deal was TUK. They gave us some generic dog pain meds to make it through the trip, but for all we know they could be suppositories. Anyway camped out just south of the Canadian border in a hoostastic park and then travelled north the following day.
The drive along route 93 was gorgeous with huge peaks lining the drive. We passed several resort towns with hot springs and finally made it to Banff NP. We camped Saturday night there in Johnston Canyon ( cool canyon walk to the falls) but did not sleep well due to the freezing cold and Ogi with some GI upset. We were up a couple times in the night to let him out but weary of bears snagging him up for a late night treat. The insomnia led us to Banff city where we are now. Cute little ski town nestled amongst rocky peaks with lots of culture and shopping for Sarah. I had a great Alberta steak and Sarah had the wild BC salmon with maple glaze at the Maple Leaf Grill. We shared a bottle of Cab-Franc out of the Niagra, Ont area which opened up nicely and then passed out cold by 11pm. Today we are well rested and showered and off to Jasper along the icefields parkway and then towards home. Miss you all. XOXO
