Monday morning we were thwarted every which way we turned to try to get to see some good sunrise photos. The roads (and most of the town) of Banff were still heavily flooded which cut off our likely paths of travel to the good view points. But we made the best of it, the sleep town of Banff down below:

Once again my dear wife dragged us out of bed good and early to catch the sunrise. This time it was the Waterfowl lakes (upper and lower), and it was dang cold! (1°C), but the scenery was beautiful.

Saturday morning’s sunrise found us at Mount Edith Cavell:

We woke up early to catch the sunrise, and much to our surprise, it was actually dry! We headed out to Mosquito…errr.. Pyramid Island to grab some sunrise photos. By the way, sunset is 10:30 (stays light until 11:15 ish) and sunrise is 5:30 (gets light around 4:45):

We woke up Thursday to rain, rain, and more rain with a balmy 6*C temp (about 40*F). Some of the places we visited have had rain every day since 6/2/13. Needless to say the ground was rather saturated which caused us some problems later on. It did dry out some on the next day, but for this day, we were wrapped up in Poncho’s trying to keep dry.
