This morning we were up very early for a short drive to the town of Canmore approximately 20km out of Banff on the road to Calgary. We made our way to Alpine Helicopters. Their primary role is search and rescue but they also provide tours of the Rocky Mountains. We boarded the helicopter and spent 30 minutes flying over mountains, glaciers, rivers and forests. The weather was perfect and the trip something we will never forget. We flew over, around and through the mountains, banking close to the glaciers so we could see them clearly. WOW!!!
A log jam on the famous Bow River.
We flew with a couple from Gosford - Susan and Michael, who are also on our trip. We were all so awe struck that none of us spoke during the entire 30 minute trip.
We returned to the hotel in time for a leisurely breakfast in the Bow Valley Grill. Time now for a catch up on our blog, journalling and news from home. This afternoon we will explore the chateau in greater detail. It is massive!
