Banff National Park pt. 2

Aug

It’s been a month since we traveled to Banff & I officially have ALL images edited and ready to BLOG! WOAH. This is like a new record for me, friends!!!

I broke down all the logistics of our trip here, but this is the fun post!! All the BEAUTY that Banff holds in images!!!

Day One: We slept in, went to a place that was recommend for breakfast, got snacks, and headed to the first two lakes on our list; Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. I literally have no words, so I’ll just let the images speak for themselves.

Lake Louise:

And Moraine Lake:

The iPhone collages day one, of course ๐Ÿ˜‰

and the most epic pano EVER!! Shout out to that beautiful iPhone 7+ of mine!!

Day Two was our hiking day! We slept in, got Starbucks, drove two hours, talked about what life is about to look like, prayed over all of those dreams and our marriage, hiked to Peyto Lake, ate chips and salsa in the car before we went on another hike to Lake Agnes. Needless to say, I was dead and more sore than I had ever been in my entire life. But at least the views were worth it! (And yes, this is really what these lakes looked like!!!)

And the iPhone images!Day Three: We happened to be in Banff at the same time as our dear friends, so we spent the entire day with them. We missed meeting up with them at Young Living’s convention so it was so great to be able to see them in Canada of all places!!! We also went canoeing on Lake Louise and it was the experience of a lifetime!!! SO amazing! Like it makes me want to cry every time I think of it because of how beautiful it was.

And Day Four we ended our trip at Johnston Canyon. We hiked, we found the hidden cave, we saw waterfalls, it was the best.

Get to Banff, friends. It was seriously insanely beautiful and we would recommend it to anyone who loves beauty ๐Ÿ˜‰
