if you didn't s·ee one and went over,
you would have quite a jump.
After Sunshine we returned to
Banff and the Mount Royal. Naturally
we had to have another swim in
the Sulphur pool. The following day
we left for Lake Louise and Mount
Temple. Again we left the car at
the station and a jeep picked us up
and took us up the mountain. The
Lodge at Temple was much smaller,
accommodwting about 3(}. There were
just a few guests when we were
there. Temple. Lodge is set at the foot
of a mountain in the trees--a small
cozy log cabin, very homey and any
time you were hungry you just walked
into the kitchen and helped your·
self. HePe we skied with a guide. It
was easy to get lost, for you started
above the tree-line and skied into and
through the trees: the further down
the more trees and then there were
trails-if you didn't know where th·e
trail was, it was jus.t too bad. r.t
snowed about 8 inches. of powder
snow while. we were there. Powder

than we had eV'er heard of, just like
skiing through feathers.
Unfortunately this was the end of
our holidays and we had to head' .for
home-determined we would be back
before long.
