Banff Gondola

Last day in Banff, and after checking out of the the hotel - Banff Park Lodge, I drove up to the Banff gondola station, past the Info centre and this impressive totem pole. ... the gondola takes you up to a viewpoint on Sulphur mountain overlooking the valley.
I walked beyond the obvious tourist bit to the peak in the photo ... only 10 mins, but the view was spectacular.
After this I walked down the trail rather than ride down, to get the exercise for the day.
Looking back up from the centre of town ... this peak - Mt Rundle dominates the town more than Sulphur Mt.
From here it was back into the car and off to the airport in Calgary.
