Springtime in the Canadian Rockies – Kananaskis Country, Banff & Lake Louise – S2-E5
Join my wife Valerie and me as we fly our Cessna 182 into the Canadian Rockies for an unforgettable flight in the spring of 2021. We pass down the Kananaskis Valley to the Kananaskis Lakes, then turn north up the Spray Lakes valley to Banff where we get an amazing view of the famous Banff Springs Hotel along with Bow Falls. We then fly up the Bow Valley to Lake Louise and then we turn eastward down what we refer to as the Valley of Death, back to the flatlands of Alberta and home.
