DAY 66 JULY 22 BANFF

Day 66. The day was clear and we were off by 8:40 a.m. We went from Pacific to Mountain Time before arriving in Jasper, AB. We traveled through Jasper and Banff National Parks--magnificent! The Icefield Parkway winds through the Canadian Rockies and affords some spectacular scenary. Climbed up to the Athabasca Glacier. It felt 20 degrees cooler as I approached it. We ate supper at Lake Louise and camped at Banff National Park campground. This is a place we will want to return sometime.

Mileage for the day: 427 miles.
Mileage for the trip: 9,081 miles.

  1. Your post of July 22 just appeared today, July 27. Good to hear from you, we were getting concerned. We planned to go to Banff on our trip to Glacier National Park a few yeara ago but didn't know we needed our passports which were safely at home. This makes a good excuse to return not that we need much encouragement to go West; it is our favorite area of the USA. Have a safe journey home, see you on the 9th of Aug.
