Camping at Two-Jack in Banff

Here are a few more pictures from our trip to Banff… I’ve actually already posted a bunch of other pictures from this trip over at my other site, so you might be interested to check them out too.

We recently camped in Banff national park at the Two-Jack main campsite. Banff is an amazingly beautiful place and we are very lucky to have it so close to us. We really try to take advantage of that as often as we can, but it never feels like we get there enough. Two-Jack Lake is our preferred campsite, but unfortunately everyone else prefers it too. Two-Jack Main is much larger and we ended up staying there instead. Although it does not have a lakefront view, it has plenty of campsites and it is a very nice place to stay.

After finishing a short hike around Johnson Lake without seeing any birds or animals (there were far too many people enjoying the lake), we decided to take the longer drive around around the loop on our way back to the campsite. It was an amazing blue-sky day and the wildflowers were in full bloom. We saw several groups of Bighorn Sheep and a few of them even stopped to pose for us!

When we got back to the campground it was time for dinner and dessert (s’mores AND Jiffy Pop), and then the kids were off to bed at a much more reasonable hour than the previous night. It was a very nice day to be in the mountains!
