Banff National Park p21
The first picture is a view of Rundle Mountain as seen from the top of Tunnel Mountain. Tunnel Mountain was originally named Sleeping Buffalo Mountain, as from a distance, it looks just like a sleeping buffalo! Back in the 1800's the Canadian Pacific Railway planned to Tunnel through the mountain, so they decided to change the name to Tunnel Mountain. They eventually decided to scrap the tunnel in favour of a different route, but the name stuck and is stilled called Tunnel Mountain to this day!
Also, I've included a few pictures from in and around the town of Banff.

Your family is so adorable.
Thanks for the nice compliment! Its better to go in the summertime anyways @countrygirl!
Nice!!! In the 2nd image, I'm imagining you're on an upper-elevation green and you're going to drive the ball down to one of the lower greens in the valley ;-) I also really like those two tree-silhouetted shots need the end.
Wouldn't that be a blast @cognoscere, others have very likely thought that same thought!
