Okanagan Valley, Calgary and Banff

Heading back east we went through the Okanagan Valley with the hopes to stay in Kelowna, however when we got there we found that the BC games were being hosted there and there was no place to stay. So we headed on to the next town to find a hotel. The valley is really nice and it seems that you can rent these huge house boats to use on the lake. Maby another time :)

We then headed back up the Rockies and on to Calgary were we discovered that OzzFest was in town and again we were scrambling to find a place to stay! The next day we visited with my friend John and got some ideas of places to see in the area.
We went to the Johnston Canyon in Banff National Park the next day and took the really cool trail to see the falls. Sadly we were too tired to go all the way along the trail to see the springs at the very top. Maby next time.
The next day we headed off to Regina but made a stop in to see the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller. They have an amazing collection of dinosaur bones to see and you can even see their lab where they are cleaning up new finds.

As always I took a ton of pictures. I hope you enjoy!
