Around town in Banff





Monday August 29, 2016

   We checked in the night before at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel, today I was ready for a driving break. After a late breakfast Mary went on a tour of the hotel with her cousins and I took a walk around the grounds.

   I saw a beautiful golf course nearby (Bow Falls) and the 15th tee box was just down the hill behind the hotel. The par 5 hole turned to the left and not far off the fairway was the Bow River falls.

   I went back to my car and drove to the golf shop checking if there were open tee times, but it was getting late. 

   There were groups of horses and riders on trails around the course and the mountains all around were another terrific distraction.

   In the evening we headed downtown with all the Scots for dinner. Mine was fish and chips at the St James Gate Irish Pub.
