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.
