The Icefields Parkway

If you want to learn more about the Icefields Parkway, which I had never heard of until I started planning this trip, go to www.icefieldsparkway.ca. It is between Banff and Jasper National Parks.

(I tried to attach pix last night, but I had no luck. It would get so far with ataching them -- and then just stop. Frustrating!)

Approaching an Animal-Crossing Bridge
The bridges are faced with river rocks and have high fences leading up to them and across the roads. If I hadn't read about them beforehand, I would not have known what they are for.

Another Animal-Crossing Bridge
Melting Lake
As was true for so many bodies of water we saw, they were partially or completely still frozen. This one was the most beautiful shade of emerald.

Beautiful Lake, Beautiful Women

Another Pretty View
By the way, we are now in Seward, and I hope to catch up with the photo sharing.

Thanks for reading,
Char & Susan

  2. Hi Chip,
    Thanks for the comment. Yes, the pictures can't do justice to what we are seeing. It has been such fun -- everything about the trip has exceeded, by far, my expectations. I hope Susan and I never get Alzheimer's because I want to be talking about this trip for many years.

  4. Steve,
    Thanks for reading. It's all just so amazing -- everyday starts a new adventure.

    Quiet and boring are not so bad. That's one reason I like living there. Compare quiet and boring with after the homicides. Who wants to go back to those days??!!!
