On Day 5, we arrive in Banff, but I am not expecting us to see much other than the inside of the chalet we reserved. We will be exhausted from 30 to 35 hours on the road. The road between Calgary and Banff is gorgeous and I'm glad we will be doing that in the day. I love to see the mountains in the distance, then have them get larger as wee drive closer. Before you know it, the mountains are looming above us and then we are in them.
We have four days in Banff. I have not micro-managed them, but instead have chosen some activities for us to do.
Walk on a glacier. http://www.explorerockies.com/columbia-icefield/

We leave on day 10 to drive back to the state.
Watch for more...
