Gondola Ride, Via Ferrata and Hiking | Day Three at Banff National Park Alberta, Canada

I made a list of things to do while we are at Banff. It was a very long list and our trip was at its end. So we squeezed the things we can do at our last full day!
Banff Gondola Ride
The first thing we did in the morning was the Gondola Ride. I wasn't too sure about this but the reviews says so, so I had to see for myself. I thought I will just spend about two hours the most there but it ended up to almost four hours. We enjoyed the view from the top of the Sulphur Mountain, overlooking the beautiful small town of Banff as well as the surrounding Canadian Rockies. We went straight to Northern Lights Alpine Kitchen as soon as it opened and we had an amazing view just right by our table.
Via Ferrata at Norquay Mountain
I was super excited when I booked this activity just the day before. I have been wanting to do this type of activity for a while and I was so happy when I got to do it with the beautiful views of the Canadian Rockies. I thought it would be scary but I mostly had fun! Our guide Ellie was amazing and shared some of his adventures. I am excited to do more of this type of activity!
Lake Minnewanka
We were not tired yet, so we went for a short walk at Lake Minnewanka. It was late in the afternoon so most of the people are leaving and more of the people who's hiking in the Stewart Canyon to backpack. I thought to myself, I couldn't leave Canada without a cold plunge so that's what I did!

That looks so amazing! Banff, Canada is definitely going to be on my “To Go” list. 😎👍

@@golfgunsandcocktailschannel fun fact, Banff is the first national park of Canada. It's really beautiful when you get there. Make sure you stay longer than I did

In 1964 we drove to Alaska on the Alcan Highway , when it was a dirt road , what wasn't ice . We went in the winter pulling a homemade camp trailer with a 1964 Chevy 6 cylinder van . Our fingernails were chewed off up to our elbows by the time we got there . When we met an 18 wheeler coming down a mountain we had to back down to where we could pull off the road to let him by , it happened often . Great video I would like to make the trip now to see how much it has changed . Have a blessed one .

You two were so brave. Was that a meatball? Hi, Harper!

[@sunkissedmary]

Thank you! And yes, that's a meatball and the sauce was really good!
