Canmore

Over my birthday weekend, we went to Canmore, which is a 1 hour drive from Calgary. The drive is relatively straight forward - pretty much on a highway the majority of the way. The mountains do draw you in.... they look almost surreal.

We started off our trip, the same way we normally end up spending our trips. Walking, walking, walking. In fact we walked somewhere to find that the "somewhere" no longer existed - 1 and a half hours later. hahaha. We spent a lot of time by the Bow River. Shan dipped his toes in and almost got frostbitten. Although the weather was around 24 degrees, the river had not yet warmed up! We did however managed to get sunburnt. It was the first time in Canada, that we have actually felt warm !

We didn't see too much wildlife unfortunately... just prairie dogs which are rodents...ewww..
