Father's Day on the Banff Legacy Bike Trail

We spent father's day riding the Banff Legacy Bike Trail, which starts right outside of city of Canmore and  ends up in downtown Banff. The trail is a beautiful paved 40 km (round-trip) track that winds along next to the Trans-Canada highway. Even though the highway runs beside you, the continuous peaks of the Rocky Mountains, the forests all around and the electrified animal gates remind you that you are in the wilderness.

There were lots of bikes on the trail last Sunday, not only because it was father's day, but because it was a beautiful sunny day that we have not had a lot of this spring/summer.

Even though he got to talk on the phone, Jim missed being with the kids, but we will celebrate with them when we visit Houston in July!

The Orange Crush starts the ride!

Not sure why my helmet always sits at this jaunty angle, but I think it makes me look very French!

Beautiful blue skies!

We had our picnic lunch by the river in Banff.
