As sex is my main reason for heading there, I'll keep that in mind.

I negotiated/sold down the 6 night endurance road rally to 4 nights and half the miles. Idaho, 2 nights in Canmore and the 4th TBD.A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

She heard you. Wife is now talking a 3 night stay in Canmore. She's pissed that I nixed Glacier NP through
reasoned logistical reality and want's to do the glacier 3 hour bus tour. Bucket list item as I read her. I've been on a glacier, ignorant and unroped and survived somehow so no big for me except it's the cost of a pair of Intuitions. I should probably look at AARP for trip reports and beta but..........Anyone?
She also want's to see a griz.A few people feel the rain. Most people just get wet.

When I was there in June we saw six grizzlies (two sows with two cubs each) at the Lake Louise ski area from the chairlift. Originally Posted by wooley12

On the road to Banff and we stayed in Sandpoint Id in a little cabin at the Talus Rock Retreat. A touchy/feely newage place. 120 sq ft. $124. It rained overnight and the tin roof over the bathroom leaked so we got a $100 discount. Don't be fooled. A "tiny house" is really a brand new shack. We laughed and had a good breakfast.
