The Three Sisters are a trio of mountain peaks near Canmore, Alberta.

They are a part of the Rocky Mountain range and are frequently climbed although they vary considerably in difficulty.

About three hours east of Revelstoke, British Columbia, is Banff National Park and Banff townsite.

It’s one of the gems of Canada’s national park system …

… along with the seemingly narrow line of a distant bridge across the lake.
Happy Monday.
