I always assumed Banff was named after the guy who founded the town, but after a quick Google search,

"The town was named Banff after "Banffshire", the district in Scotland which was the birthplace of two CPR directors, Lord Strathcona and George Stephen. 1888- The original log framed Banff Springs Hotel was opened for business by Canadian Pacific Railways."

I thought I had some pictures uploaded on a photo site, but alas, I do not. There's some pretty pictures I took, the water is incredible! Man, I want to go back now and it's only been two weeks. D:

I think I'd stay with Earth until the bitter end. Even with nuclear winter, there's a chance at surviving... on Mars, if a piece of technology breaks, you might be toast, and you'd be living in the same small habitation for the rest of your life, and you can never leave to go on a trip anywhere, and there would be nothing beautiful to see, limited and no variety of food, very little in the way of entertainment, and it would just be an utterly lethal environment that could kill you dead for looking at it wrong. There's just so many negatives.

I really want to see the Grand Canyon! I keep hearing the pictures don't do it justice, and I believe it. It's humid in Arizona? I always figured it would be dry, being largely desert. The giant cacti sound awesome! I've never seen a cactus. Alberta's apparently a huge hotbed for dinosaur fossils (and fossils in general, go Google ammolite and you'll see something that's uniquely from Alberta and absolutely beautiful), there's a town called Drumheller that's got a giant dinosaur museum and the largest collection of fossils in Canada. :D
