This was goal for the day, good to start off with a successful first day! 85 miles, 135 km, woo!
Also passed through Canmore, about 30km earlier (that's right, I use kilometers now). Both Canmore and Banff have a touristy, resorty feel. Not that there's anything wrong with that! They're both very nice and have beautiful views and seem like a lot of fun. Canmore also has the Nordic center from the 1988 Olympics, so if you're ever in the area and have the urge to go cross-country skiing, Canmore is the place to do it.
I'm all set up at the Tunnel Mountain campground. It's an enormous campground that is all filled except for the walk-in sites, which is perfect for me. I'm currently eating dinner at the Banff Ave brewing company. I recommend the Head Smashed IPA! But I also recommend they rename the beer, right?

Looking forward to reports on the beers on this trip.
