We take the much less travelled Highway 1a, also called the Bow Valley Parkway, back to Banff, which is a much more relaxing and scenic drive than the motorway-like Highway 1. Highway 1a runs parallel with and close to the Canadian Pacific Railway track. One of the guidebooks we read reckoned that this road offered the best views of the trains in the Canadian Rockies. As you can see from the photo, the track curves nicely through the frame and there are picturesque mountains in the background. Unfortunately, no trains came past in the 30 seconds I was standing there taking this photo and freezing to death.
