After Monica discovered that riding the Tram was only 7000 feet as opposed to 13,000 feet that she originally thought, she agreed to take a ride with me. She was afraid I would have trouble breathing, as I am apt to do when I am at high elevations. Yesterday evening we boarded the Tram and took a ride to 7500  feet where we could see the highest peak in Canada as well as gorgeous panoramic views of the area.

When we arrived at the top, there was music playing and the song was Tom Petty's "Free Falling" which made Monica a little more nervous. She didn't mind being up high. She just didn't care for dangling from a big string. Dangling from the string

 Sitting on top of the world!

Today we spent the day riding around, visiting various lakes and having a picnic along the river. We spotted some elk on our way back to our room. They were lying in some grass along the road and under some trees, creating a huge traffic jam through town. Naturally, we had to stop to see what all the fuss was about. 

This is just one of those guy's velvety antlers. They're huge He could hardly pick his head up.

This evening, we went back to the De'd Dog Pub and Monica had a Kokonee beer and I had a Long Island and we shared a huge plate of nachos for dinner. Monica delivers a toast to you.

Tomorrow is Canada Day. We're not sure what that means, but it seems to be a pretty big deal and everyone is preparing for a big celebration. We thought it best to stay put and party with the locals as opposed to wandering around looking for a place to sleep the next few nights. We have to head out on Sunday morning as much as we'd love to stay here.
