Banff National Park p18
The first few photos are of Two Jack Lake, and in the background is the majestic Mount Rundle. The lake is approximately 10 min north of the Banff townsite and right next to Lake Minnewanka. It's always a nice place to stop for a picnic or to catch a few fish, not to mention the spectacular views!
Of course camping is also an option here at the lake, something I've yet to do there. Perhaps next summer!
Also included in this post are pictures shot from in and around the Rimrock Resort hotel, located 3 km from Banff and right next to the Sulphur mountain gondola and across the street from the Banff Upper hot springs. The hotel is actually bolted to the side of Sulphur Mountain (if you can believe that) to keep it from falling down the mountain!
I spent 5 years working here at the Concierge desk a few years back, it was quite an experience. I guess you could say this is where my passion for mountains, hiking and nature began!

Thank you @funnyman!!
Great photos again daveks in this awesome series. There are so many places in and around banff for awesome scenery, you are sharing them well! Keep on!
Thanks for your support @unipsycho I appreciate it!
BTW: I've been meaning to ask sometime, what with the name in peppers? You just like peppers ? :)
@papa-pepper (one of my favourite Steemians) has made numerous logos, etc for many of us, and, well it's kind of become a trademark of sorts for me I suppose and it also brings back attention to @papa-pepper who in my first month on Steemit gave me a lot of support/advice!
Alright, that's cool and makes sense. I had never checked out @papa-pepper before, so will have to now. Thanks for the answer, it had my curiousity going.
Are you on Steemit chat?
whoa, just beautiful!
Yeah, it's a beautiful place @lrich!
Beautiful images @daveks! It would be awesome to camp on that little peninsula. I'm curious about the red item in the first two photos, is it a box kite?
I didn't even notice that! After taking a closer look at the original photo, yes, it appears to be a box kite! Good eye @cognoscere!
When I was in Canada, I missed banff. I was stupid. (T.T) Enjoyed. You have a new follower now :D See you again!
Well there's always next time @botonstory and thanks for the follow!!
