We decided to go for a hike on our last day. The hike called "Cascade Amphitheatre" started with a drive across the highway from Banff to the Mount Norquay ski resort. Midway up the climb to Mount Norquay, we stopped roadside at this overlook. Banff is in the middle distance and Mount Rundle is the mountain near Bin. banff-norquay-2.jpg A few miles into the hike, we crossed over this creek. cascade-hike-02.jpg After climbing several thousand feet we reached this alpine meadow.
