Probably, the best image of the 4-day shoot. The observation deck was VERY crowded, so I could not use my Zeiss-Batis 18mm wide-angle. But I am quite happy with the results of the 24-105mm (@24) and my light-weight Sony A7rii mirrorless!

Also, it is a very steep hike up to the lookout point (but not that far). I saw people turning back to the parking lot after contemplating the climb. But the pain was worth it.

Next time I'll probably go later in the season, maybe even with snow. My traveling companions do Banff cold-weather hiking with ice cleats and snow shoes. And they get some incredible photos.
