Banff (AB)
Today is a day dedicated to sport.
Following the sound advice of a Banff National Park employee, we set out to climb one of the most demanding trails in the area: Cory Pass. Once again, the weather is on our side. The sun is shining, it’s warm, and there isn’t a breath of wind!
The ascent is brutal. The terrain is very steep from the start, putting our legs to a severe test. However, the reward is massive once we reach Cory Pass a few hours later. We enjoy superb high-mountain conditions, literally surrounded by vertical rocky peaks exceeding 3,000 meters in altitude.
The day ends more peacefully with a visit to the Fairmont Chateau…
…Followed by a few well-deserved cold beers on a terrace.
