I am in Banff National Park. We left Calgary at 12:30 pm after we had lunch, and we arrived at about 2 pm. The drive was very nice. After we arrived we went to see a bit of the town. There wasn't much to see, so we headed off to the park to do some camping and hiking. I am a little disappointed that there is not any back country camping. So we are staying at a "car camping" spot instead (not my idea).
We have reserved a very nice spot - Two Jacks Lakeside Site 40. It is a very beautiful site - there is a small wooded area and you can see the lake. After we checked in, we went for a hike. We did the Spray River loop, which the guide book said it would take 3 to 4 hours, but we did it in 2 hours.
We got back in time for dinner. We had shrimp that we cooked in a cast-iron skillet on a MSR Whisperlite stove that we got at MEC.
