Today we drove along the Icefields Parkway. It straddles 2 provinces (British Columbia and Alberta) and it goes thru’ 2 Canadian National Parks: Banff and Jasper, and requires a $20 park pass to get on the parkway. What an incredibly beautiful drive! It’s a scenic drive about 138 miles long. There are 7 large icefields (and about 25 smaller ones) within viewing distance along the highway. Icefields are large upland glaciers. The largest icefield is the Columbia Icefield and it is located at about the halfway mark. With all the scenic turnouts, it takes almost 4 hours to traverse this section of highway. (pics attached)
Once we finished that little scenic tour, we started looking for a place to spend the night. We happened upon a British Columbia Provincial (State) Park: Robson Meadows Campground. It sits at the foot of Mt. Robson which is the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies (pic attached).
Canada Oh Canada!!! I never knew it was this pretty!
Canada does lack in cell phone coverage as well as internet service. We have to really seek out the internet cafes, etc, in order to stay in touch with our ‘homelanders’.
Miss you all!!
