Well I made it to Banff in one day. The whole trip from Seattle took 13 hours (including 1.5 hours convincing customs that a wildlife technician was indeed a biologist. Canada reminds me a lot of Alaska. Absolutely gorgeous, surrounded by snow covered peaks and driving through river valleys with shallow river beds. The only difference is that the accent is better and I pay with monopoly money.
I was a little sad to see how many starbucks and costcos there are, but they seem to be disappearing as I go farther north. On the plus side due to some money limitations I am forgoing coffee for a few days (there was a toll booth in the middle of nowhere...). The headaches are not so great, but it will be better for me in the end.
Banff is gorgeous. You can see snow-capped mountains and trees in every direction. I enjoy staying in the hostel because it is one of the few times I will get to interact with people for awhile. Also I got a great deal on a bed/lift ticket and am excited to go to Sunshine tomorrow- from the pictures it looks like a really beautiful place.
