Horse-drawn sleigh rides Dogsledding Snowmobiling
Welcome to Banff, Canada"s first, most famous and arguably most fascinating national park. If you"ve
come to ski or snowboard, we"ll see you on the slopes. Skiing is a local favourite too.
While you"re here, try other recreational activities available in our mountains. Popular choices include a
Banff Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, bathe in the natural mineral waters at the Upper Hot Spring, horse-
drawn sleigh ride, drive-your-own-team dog sled excursion, and snowmobile tour to the highland(but not in
the national park).
We also recommend you make time to enjoy simple pleasures. After looking around Banff Ave shops,
walk a couple of blocks west or south to the scenic Bow River.
True ice skating on frozen Lake Louise where Ice Magic International Ice Sculpture Competition Works
are displayed after Jan 25. You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop in the Fairmont Chateau Lake
Louise hotel.
Banff"s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty-cross country
skis and snowshoes provide the means. Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, or join an organized
tour. Although we"ve been many times, we still find the cliffs and icefalls of our frozen canyons worth
visiting.
Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories. We have seen hundreds of the elk and bighorn sheep
that attract visitors, yet they still arouse a sense of wonder. And the rare spotting of a cougar, wolf or
woodland caribou takes our breath away.
See if simple pleasure work for your Fight in the snow with your kids, walk beside a stream or climb
to a high place and admire the view.

So you"re about to spend four years of your life and tens of dollars of your parents" money and all you
really know about college is that all of your friends are going. Do you ever stop to wonder why you"re going?
Relax. You"re making the right decision. First of all, you"ll discover what interests you by taking courses
in many subjects. For example, it"s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you"ve never painted any
pictures; once you"re in a drawing-room on campus, you"ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot
of fun-after you graduate, you"ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college
graduate earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.
Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of
the way.
* Researching Schools. To us. the most important decision you"ll make is to choose the school that really
fits you best-not the once that is the most competitive (有竞争力的) or has the best-equipped rooms.
* Applying to School. On JohnsonReview.com, you"ll find hundreds of actual college application (申请)
and links to many more.
* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is once of the most important parts of the admission (录
取) course. It"s not the most important, though and everyone needs to prepare for the best. But, if you can
do better, find the right course for better scores.
* Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that
financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning
the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you"ll learn that you can afford to attend any
college, no matter the cost.
