Banff!

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?
