A Morning on Sulphur Mountain


The last time we were in Banff, in 2003 the gondola to sulphur mountain was closed because of the smoke from the forest fires. i wanted to go up even though I hate heights and cable car rides. So we drove up to the Gondola park and got in line. I asked the attendant how long the ride was and he said Three and a half hours. I nearly turned and ran. It actually takes about 8 mins and is a fairly smooth ride apart from when you go over the supporting pylons.The views were wonderful and the walk to the summit was protected with guard rails so I did OK. We spent a couple of hours enjoying the views and then had lunch in one of the restaurants before coming down.

Wow, that's a great picture. Good thing the ride didn't turn out to be so long you would miss it.
