We Finally Made It To The Mountains!
Days 5–7 of our cross-Canada adventures
Happy Canada Day!
For those following for my usual content (psychology, parenting, neurodiversity etc.), I promise to continue writing about those topics alongside my travel stories.
Banff National Park
We’ve been planning this leg of the trip for the past 2 1/2 years, but it was delayed when covid restrictions prevented inter-provincial travel. Our son, who has grown up in the prairies, finally got to see the mountains for the first time in his life. The scenery out here is absolutely gorgeous.
Yet I’m glad we’re leaving.
Not because we didn’t have a wonderful time — we absolutely did, and will likely be back again.
The reason I’m glad we’re leaving today is because it’s July 1st, Canada Day. The campground was slowly beginning to fill up, and it was crowded enough for me the past few days without being at full capacity.
Canada Day is the unofficial start of summer for road-trippers, campers, and children who are finally done another year of school. Banff National Park is one of the most popular campgrounds in Canada, so it will no doubt be incredibly busy.
