The trip from Jasper National Park to Edmonton was a fairly easy and short trip. The highway was a four lane highway with a wide median strip. You can see from the video that the trees were starting to show color. We pulled into our camping spot at Shakers Acres RV Park. Then it was errand time! I had to have the oil in the truck changed, laundry to be done, while Jerry & Arlene had to visit an Apple Store. By the time we were done with laundry, oil change...

After cleaning up and securing the trailer, we headed from Banff towards Jasper. Jerry had met a guy back in Revelstoke that said, "Just when you think the views can't get any better, you go around the next bend!" That certainly was true of the drive from Banff to Jasper on the Icefields Parkway. The highway winds through mountains laden with glaciers, waterfalls and lakes. To try and describe the view would be just flapping my gums. Here are some pictures to giv...

This morning we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast out in town. David and our brother-in-law Jerry decided to rest and get some laundry done while my sister Arlene and I explored the Lake Louise area. We stopped at Moraine Lake. Words aren't sufficient to describe the brilliance of its color and the breathtaking backdrop of ten peaks. Enjoy the pictures. We ended up hiking up to the end of the lake and back. On the way back to camp, we did stop at the iconic Lake L...

While we were walking, we really enjoyed the small town feeling. There were sculptures and art all around the town. It was very pleasant morning with the sun shining ~ brisk in the shadows, but nice and warm in the sunlight. The Canadian Rockies boast two spectacular national parks: Banff and Jasper. After our c...

After breakfast, we packed up the trailer and headed out on the road again. Our goal was to reach Revelstoke, which is our first stop, driving into the Columbia Mountain Range and the Canadian Rockies. The drive took us past lakes and some beautiful scenery through Kelowna and past Lake Kalamalka. One of the most beautiful overlooks from Highway 97 was above the lake, showing the turquoise color of the water. Heading out from there, we ran into some intermittent ...
