Radium Hot Springs RV Park

We think they were female mountain goats, our first wildlife sightings

It has been one week since we left Sandpoint, Idaho...and six days without wi fi but we have it now.  We spent our first night in Radium Hot Springs, B. C. The campsites and park were very nice but we headed out the next morning for Banff, B.C.

The animals above, we think they were female mountain goats, were the first sightings of wildlife upon entering the Banff National Forest.  They slowed us down roaming out on the road in front of Larry & Judy who were leading us.  We stopped for a while to hike to the Paint Pots on the way to Banff.  The first day Judy, Larry, Joe and I went for a gondola ride to view the town of Banff.  We coudn't get Roy and Darlene to get their feet that far off the ground so they waited for us at the Starbucks with wifi and Darlene was happy.

We stopped on our way to Banff to see
the Paint Pots. Luckily there was enough
room for all 3 RV's to park

Ochre color collects, the Indians used for body paint
and for pottery.

We did some shopping in Banff after the Gondola ride and I caught a picture of Roy & Darlene at a candy store.

The next day we drove to Lake Louise.  We took a picnic lunch but it was too cold for a picnic outdoors so we ate in our car.  Enjoyed the day even if it was cold.

Here are some random shots I made while traveling down the road, just some beautiful scenery.

I am going to publish this for now, I'm still a week behind or more but getting a little better on this blogging bit.
