A mountain goat.
Tuesday, May 17.
After a shower and a freezing walk in a light snow back to the trailer, we grabbed some breakfast at a wonderful bakery and spent the day driving the Icefields Parkway.
Here's the deal, put this on your bucket list! Lunch in Banff, drive 1A as you watch for wildlife, stay in a quaint lodge in Lake Louise and drive and explore the Icefields Parkway. You HAVE to see this. No words...No pictures...do it justice. We took so many pictures and they just don't do the job.
We saw tons of waterfalls, deer, elk, mountain goats, bighorn sheep, and our first moose. What a day and Ben loved it too as we walked many trails!
We spent the night in Hinton, east of Jasper, at a KOA in the middle of a huge wind swept field with mountains all around us. We were supposed to have internet and it wouldn't work. I am keeping a journal with paper and pencil, and then I'll catch up when we do have the net.
Next, Highway 40 north to Dawson Creek and mile marker 0 of the Alcan Highway.
The pictures are beautiful, love the mountains!!! We sure love checking out your posts and are glad to hear you are doing better! Be safe!
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of the frosted trees above the waterfall at the "Weeping Wall"...that's quite the contrast from the trees below it.
