Well what can i say! today i am so proud of myself we walked up Sulphur Mountain which is:
Starting elevation: 5200 feet
Terminal elevation: 7484 feet
Distance: 3.4 miles (one way)
Difficulty: moderate to strenuous!
(i dunno if taht means anything to you but IT WAS BIG!)
oh and lastest update as i forgot to put it in!
when i was running for the bus my shorts fell down! it was so embrassing cause they are wayyy to big for me!...it was so bad!
Steff freaked out when she saw a moose so we had to walk in a different direction which added like 100 mintues to the jounrey cause she is a scardey cat!
The hike was awesome...we had a full FREE breakfast(the most expensive thing on the menu) ! (eggs, sausages, the works!) and we headed up, it took us 1.30hrs when it was meant to take 2-5 hours so we were proud of ourselves...it was hard work but i felt disappointed when at the top of Sulpher Mountain we saw the mountain we climbed 2 days ago and it was tiny!, however Suplhuer Mountain was easier which i didn't undertsand probably due to the fact that on the top of the mountain theres a place to sit! and we brought a drink and realised we didn't have enough for the gondola (the transportation which takes you down) so we walked down and it took us guess how long??!......3 hours! thats cause we were tired and couldn't be bothered!...on our hike we saw 7 mountain goats some chipmunks (which nearly bit off a child's finger) and some birds which creeply followed us on the trail!.
rafting was funnnnn!
i am exhausted after the hike, certainly cause we did it in non-hiking stuff...it was rather hard! we then sat outside a very posh hotel and we looked a state! and felt very standing outsidish with sweaty hair and red faces!, there was a deer stopping all the traffic!...which was funny!,
to be honest Banff is great, the people are lovely and theres so much things to do, tomorow we are heading to Lake Louise! where we are staying for Canada day which will be great!
we heard england got kicked out the world cup...awww ahahahahahahahah!!! and i don't know why you are cheering those from scotland as they never even got into it! mwhahaah!.
