It was time for us to leave Banff.

So we said good-bye to the city limits of Banff before dawn and headed west on the Trans-Canada Highway.

The sun began to paint the sky and brought the mountains into view.
After dawn we soon encountered this bull on the side of the road.
Bull Elk
We had turned south and were headed toward Radium Springs when we met this fellow.

Banff is definitely a do again for us.
