eJ Comes to Banff
Prairie students climb mountains to reach their goals
Extraordinary. Amazing. Slippery. These are just a few of
the words the eJournalism team came up with when describing their early
impressions of Banff. For many, coming to Banff is old news, but for
those who have never seen its beauty or its splendor, those many hours
on the bus were well worth it.
The eJournalism team spent the majority of Sunday
hiking through Banff’s natural wonders. They traversed the trails to
visit the Hoodoos, strolled through the streets of Banff to Bow Falls,
and traveled down to Johnson Canyon to take in the grandeur of the Upper
and Lower falls.
The general impression gathered from the students is
that they enjoyed their exploration through the wilderness. They were
impressed with the prime hiking areas and saw some of the best scenery
they’ve ever beheld. Even those who have traveled to Banff many a time
found places they didn’t know existed.
Throughout these first few days, the eJournalism team
was stimulated; all of their senses were exercised. The sight of a
quaint town nestled in the mountains, the sound of rushing water, the
cries of animals, the glorious scent of pine and mountain air, the feel
of river rock on the dry creek bed, and the taste of Chef Rob Fuller’s
exquisite cuisine enraptured, energized, and exhilarated the team.
