what a fun hike! sulphur mountain is the highest mountain in the banff area. you can take a gondola ride to the summit or (as we did) you can hike up…and ride the gondola down. at the summit you have awesome views of banff and the surrounding mountains.

it was raining and cloudy when we made it to the top…but we still had a blast. to top things off (no pun intended), tyler had a french dip sandwich at the summit restaurant.
