July 31: Brooks, AB to Lake Louise, AB....with a stop in Banff. This was my 5th visit to this beautiful town but the first one in summer. And on a long weekend to boot. So, it was a tiny bit rammed with tens of thousands other tourists. Way busier than the other seasons so we took a couple of quick touristy snaps, including one of Mt. Rundle (all smoke obscured), stretched our legs along the Bow River then headed on to Lake Louise.
