Oh Canada...

Jaren's Summer break is here! We decided to go to Canada (Banff/Lake Louise) for a little getaway. We have always talked about coming here over the years. Jaren came with his parents and grandparents when he was 15 and has always wanted to come back. When we found out we would be moving to Montana, we knew we had to go at some point! And here we are...

The drive was long- a whopping 13 hours! But the scenery was so beautiful which helped pass the time.  We drove past Flathead Lake and Whitefish city- which I thought was amazing. Once we drove into Canada I was even more amazed. Jaren told me it would be beautiful, and he did not exaggerate. I have never seen such mountainous beauty before. The trees are so close together, they just cover the mountains. There are wild flowers everywhere, crystal-clear little lakes, and so much green!

We saw a bear while driving through Canada. It was so close to us! We both said we wanted to see a bear while we were here so we were pretty excited.

Downtown Banff is very quintessential. It reminds me of downtown Park City, with a lot of shops and restaurants. We ate dinner downtown and walked around a little, but then went back to our hotel and went to sleep!
