Room with a View

The above photo is a view of our campsite in Canada's Banff National Park.

Windows create a feeling of spaciousness. With this fact in mind, our Airstream is gifted with plenty of glass. Windows wrap around the front of the unit, they grace the sides, and there’s also a skylight. Exteriors are thoughtfully covered with privacy tint, so curtains can be left open throughout the day (even when exiting the shower).



In some campgrounds all of these windows seem a waste, as there’s little to view beyond your neighbors having an argument. Then you find yourself in a place like Banff, and you wish the entire trailer was made of glass.

We’re enjoying a stunning view of mountains in all directions. Here’s an idea of the view looking out our living room window.



I must confess that we knew little about Banff prior to our arrival. But color me impressed.

Kristy has drawn an astute analogy between Banff and Antigua, Guatemala. Antigua is a small, charming town surrounded by volcanoes. Here in Banff mountains loom in every direction (albeit mountains that are less likely to spew forth hot lava).
