The best thing about cycling the Bow Valley Parkway in Banff National Park are all the incredible mountain views. We had a perfect day, and I am pretty sure that I said, "Wow, this is so pretty" around every bend.

Next to being in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the best part of riding the Bow Valley Parkway is the wide-open roads. Could there be a better sight for a road cyclist?

The only downside to cycling the Bow Valley Parkway is how often you will want to stop to snap a picture of the views.

Lunch on the patio at Blackswift Bistro at Johnston Canyon is always nice, well when it is warm out. Oops, nearly missed getting a picture of the fries for you because they are really good.
