Today we went on the tran and WHITE WATER RAFTING!!!
The Summit of the Mountain
The tram is this trolly that takes you up to the Alpine Mountains, and from there you can climb to the summit of the mountain. At first the hike looked easy, but some parts were really steep, making it a bit challenging. But even so, I always ended up ahead of the family. At one point they gave up, and I was left to climb up the mountain alone, which I don't mind as this is usually the case. They always try to deter me from hiking more... It was gorgeous being up that high. After that we rode the tram back down, and headed to Bear Paw Cafe to get lunch. After lunch we went to the meeting place to go for white water rafting.
White water rafting was pretty awesome! This was my first time, and I was super excited. They gave us all the cool gear - wetsuits, booties, jackets, life jackets, and helmets. We went rafting down the Sunkwanka (sp?) River, which is a Class 3 rapid. It was AMAZING!!!
After we got back, one of the guides, Tyler, recommended this sandwich place, so we went there. It turned out that some of the other people that went on teh trip were related to the people that owned the deli. I must say that the sandwich was pretty awesome! :)
After the sandwich break, we were back on the road yet again towards Banff. On the way there, we hit up the major site that we had missed, the Weeping Wall. And oh yeah, we saw a black bear and grizzly bear, they were super close too!
