Views along the Spray River Trail

The Spray River Trail is a 11 km trail that loops behind the Fairmont Spring Hotel in Banff, Alberta. It took about 4 hours to travel, could be done in 3 hours if you do not stop to take photographs. It is an easy trail to do. The only exception is that the bridge that crosses the river to bring you onto the return trail on the other side has been washed out because of the Alberta Flood so taking your shoes off and getting your feet wet is necessary if you don't want to return on the same trail. The photographs include a great view of the castle in the mountains (the hotel) and even some horseback riders.
