Day for sight seeing, toured Canmore Museum & Geoscience Center. Canmore is just east of Banff and less tourist crazy.
1) Downtown Canmore with Three Sisters in background.
Then drove south to a provincial park for x-c skiing near Nakiska Ski Area that was built for the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Icy conditions turned skiing into hiking on snowshoe trail along the lake.
2,3,4) The mountains in Kananaskis Country are the most interesting thus far from a geologic viewpoint. Faults, folds, anticlines and sinclines were fantastically defined.
5) Big horn sheep just checked me out until truck went by and spooked it.
