You see some of the condos in the village in which we stayed. We had a very nice two bedroom unit with full kitchen on the ground floor. We loved it.
You might recognize Lake Louise.
What I love about the city center sign at Plummer, ID, located in the Coeur d' Alene Tribe Reservation, is the translation. Personally, I think the Couer d' Alene wording should have come first, but, I suppose, there would have been some violation of the wording of the grant. This is located at the Southeast terminus of the Hiawatha Trail. The trail follows the old Milwaukee Trail, thus the Hiawatha name. I was wondering if the Coeur d' Alenes would recognize the Hiawatha name on their reservation. No, they don't. The trail is referred to as the Trail of the Couer d' Alenes as well as it should. The railroad was laid out on the ancient route established by the Coeur d' Alenes when they crossed the mountains to hunt for one, sometimes two years on the Plains. You know what they were hunting?
It took us fourteen hours of driving to get to Canmore. Same to get from Canmore home. The distance is 688 miles, forty miles more than the drive to San Francisco. Canmore has grown a lot since we visited in 2000. They have been affected by the recession. Many of the condos near us were three-fourths finished, but have been left in the unfinished state. Hopefully, funding can be found before the elements ruin what has been accomplished so far. We had good weather, but, the fishing trip, oh well, that is a whole nother blog. On our way home we hit snow on the Pacific side of the Continental Divide and had rain all the way to New Meadows. We got out just in time.

Here is a view of Canmore, AB where we stayed for six days. It is just to the east of Banff and about 100 km from Calgary.
We entered Canada at Eastport on Highway #95. We had two cars in front of us and took about ten minutes total to enter Canada. Sure different crossing the border north of Seattle in June two years ago. What a mess. Took almost two hours.
