Bumbling around Banff

Our first day off the bike since leaving Denver, we spent the day hiking trails through the woods and round the lakes, all with great views as Banff, the highest town in Canada, is encircled by snow capped mountains. The forecast rain didn't happen and the weather was quite reasonable, if a little cloudy at times and brilliant sunshine at others. We waited over ten minutes at a level crossing as the longest freight train I have ever seen went through Banff, it must have been over a mile long with 4 or 5 engines and lots of the containers were labelled Hyundai. One of the pictures is of a native American museum, looks like the Indians captured the fort!
