Last year, I was exploring Kananaskis Country with Jaki Good Miller before a tour of Banff and Jasper National Parks. This little known area is often referred to as “Little Banff” and is located south of the town of Banff. Most of the roads are not paved but are in pretty good shape and the scenery is simply gorgeous. There are no towns that can be used as a base of operations except Canmore. The town is located 20 minutes south of Banff and has plenty of hotels, AirBnbs and restaurants that are not as pricey as staying in Banff.
Being tired from our travel from the eastern United States, we headed out on our first full day to explore Kananaskis Country. We spent the full day driving south, seeing and photographing the wonders that this section of the Canadian Rockies had to offer. Getting back into Canmore and having a late dinner, we crashed. The next thing I knew, it was the next morning and saw that the sun was out. Looking out the window, this scene of the “Three Sisters” presented themselves to me. I quickly grabbed my camera to get some photos of the mountains bathed in beautiful light with great cumulous clouds as a backdrop.
