Additional Info:
Bennett wanted to join us but was having a few problems with his knee, so he biked the Goat Creek Trail from Banff - Canmore - Banff while we hiked Mount Rundle. It was a long but awesome day. Great views! It was pretty cold when we hiked Mount Rundle and got lots of wind and a little bit of snow on the top. It was too cold to spend any time up there, but we soaked in the views for about 3 seconds before heading back down. It must've been my lucky day to have been on a hike that actually had cell service because I got a job offer half-way down the mountain!! That's one way to make a day in the mountains EVEN better. Woohoo!
