Came upon this view while hiking up to Lake Agnes there in Banff National Park. Just had to stop and take a shot ... hard to do this view justice but liked the interplay of tall pines and the peaks and the patch of blue sky through the clouds.
A pleasant early morning find on a wintry morning in Banff National Park in Alberta. This bull elk appears to be a 2.5 or 3 year old.
Some folks enjoying a favorite slice of Banff's local beauty with the Banff Springs Hotel above and Bow River Falls on the right.

Can't wait to return.....
Thanks for your visit. Always appreciated!
When in Banff I recommend a visit and tour of this iconic "Castle of the Rockies." Amazing inside and out. With the Bow River flowing below and the river's falls just to the right in this frame and Mt. Rundle rising majestically across the valley there is much to admire around it as well.
"The hotel opened in 1888 by the Canadian Pacific Railway, as one of the earliest of Canada's grand railway hotels. The original wooden structure burnt down in 1926, the replacement structure was made up of a steel frame, clad in Rundle limestone.
The Banff Springs Hotel includes 757 guest rooms and suites spread throughout the hotel property plus 12 restaurants."

I appreciate you taking the time to look and for any comments, faves and suggestions.
The lakes and mountains in Banff National Park are amazing. If you get up early, you just might catch some of that beauty in a perfect reflection.

Fourth installment in my hooved wildlife series. A bull elk marches across a frosty meadow in Banff National Park, Alberta Canada.
Thought a warmer view was needed given the cold conditions here in the USA ... I checked the weather there in Banff right now, and it was just a little warmer there versus here in Maryland ... might be a good place to move given the pretty scenery and warmer temps :))
A view there in the Canadian Rockies with sunlight in the morning hitting the cloud deck and some of the peaks too.
Continuing my National Park wildlife series with this bugling bull elk photographed on frosty morning in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
At 2281 m (7486 ft) the upper terminal of the Banff Gondola sightseeing lift also has the full-service Panorama Restaurant, self-serve Summit Café, 360° observation decks and the Sanson’s Peak boardwalk all offering incredible views. The vista includes Banff townsite, Cascade and Rundle Mountains, the Bow River, Lake Minnewanka, and The Fairmont Banff Springs hotel and golf course as well as a resident herd of bighorn sheep. Both restaurants offer tables by huge windows; the Panorama also has soft lounge seats.
Sound appealing? Highly recommended when one is in Banff. Boy am I overdue for a return.....
A few more shots from up here in comments.
Happy Friday!
