View from Sanson Peak, Banff, Alberta, Canada

This shot was taken from the summit of Sanson Peak at 7,400 feet. We took a gondola to the summit of Sulphur Mountain, an adjacent mountain peak, and then walked along a ridge for about a kilometer to the adjacent summit of this mountain, which is home to a historic cosmic ray station/weather observatory. This view shows Tunnel Mountain (the smaller mountain in the center) with the town of Banff to the left. A number of 10,000+ foot peaks can be seen in the distance.
