July 1, 2023 — Canada Day

Day 8

Banff National Park

Technically a rest day for me (2 nights in Calgary), I got to catch up on work and take a little jaunt to Banff. It was packed — Canada Day. Whoops, I didn’t think that one through. But I still managed to take in some breathtaking views. Tomorrow I’ll visit Lake Louise on my way to Jasper.

The journey.

Ride with me.

My second attempt with the Insta360 X3 camera wasn’t much of an improvement from the previous attempt. I was still learning the camera and playing with camera placement and bike attachments. Also, the park was a traffic madhouse. Not only was it Canada Day, but it was also free admission.

I’m always fascinated by this geologic feature — the surface of the earth upended to reveal what’s beneath.
