For our last day in Banff, we woke up early, ate breakfast, then checked out of the hotel. Our hotel had given us free transit passes to ride the local bus, called Roam. We ended up using it to take the bus up to Sulphur Mountain to ride the gondolas. We arrived at the base of Sulphur Mountain a little early. It was really foggy that morning, so you could hardly see the top of the mountain. After exchanging our…
For our next day, we booked a day trip to Lake Louise. We grabbed breakfast at the Chili’s restaurant inside our hotel, then packed our bags for the trip. Our tour bus picked us up outside the hotel shortly after. We were lucky it was a small group for our tour. It was exactly 10 people including our bus driver. Once he finished rounding everyone up, we were on our way towards Lake Louise. The first stop on our trip…

After stepping inside we paid for the admission and started…

Never had I taken an actual vacation solely in Canada, so it was my first time touring the country. We started the first leg of our trip in Calgary. On Friday morning we boarded a flight from Toronto to Calgary and arrived shortly after 10:00 am….
