Castle Mountain Junction, Banff National Park (Canada)
On Saturday we decided to drive to Golden, BC for the day. It is about a 4.5 hour drive one way for us, 4.5 hours of amazing scenery. We enjoy driving, plus I needed to get some knitting done (which I find works very well on road trips), so it seemed a great way to spend the day.

Driving on the Trans Canada Highway.
Over the last year and a half we have spent more and more time in this area. The scenery is stunning, yet it is less crowded than Jasper or Banff. We never knew what a gem this area was until one day we ventured off the main highway and started exploring the more rural areas and roads.
Even with the weather rolling in the landscape is gorgeous.
Reflection Lake
Reflection Lake has become one of our stopping points. Located only minutes from Golden, it is a great place to view birds while surrounded by great mountain scenery.
Fall leaves provided great foreground color as the Purcells turn to grey as the clouds cover the mountains.
Little creeks are abundant in this area, creating amazing picturesque views.
Hoodoo Creek
Just before the sky opened up with torrential rain, we were able to get a last couple of mountain pictures featuring fall leaves.
