Thursday was a fairly uneventful day. We continued to barrel our way thru’ Canada. We spent 11 hours on the road and traveled 482 miles. We’re becoming a little road weary. Did I say a “little” weary? Correct that: VERY road weary! It’s not that Canada doesn’t make for a very scenic drive; it’s just that it’s such a BIG country, with a LOT of miles to cover.
On Friday, we ventured into Alberta, Canada. We decided we wanted to take the Icefields Parkway again on the home stretch. We never “ooo-ed and ahhh-ed” on this trip as much as we did on the Icefields Parkway on our way to Alaska. It was/is by far the prettiest stretch of road we have traveled. It takes you right thru’ the Canadian Rockies and two national parks: Jasper and Banff. They charge you $20 to take this route (park entrance fee), but it is 200 miles of divine beauty.
About 30 miles into our drive on the Icefields Parkway, the rain clouds moved in and the mountain tops and the icefields became obscured. There are several gorgeous campgrounds along the Parkway, so we picked one (Jonas Creek Campground) and camped for the night, hoping that the morning would bring back the sun and the blue skies.
Happy Birthday Greg, Sara, and Chris!! We miss you!!
