Jasper and Banff National Park

Thursday and Friday were spent driving to Jasper National Park in Alberta. We had a great campground and were finally able to cook dinner outside . . . we finally got away from the coast and the rain.
The fishing rod was not in the Roadside Americana Book but it was neat to see anyway. Look close and you can see Al with his hands on the reel.

Saturday was just a casual cruise through Jasper National Park and Banff National Park. The scenery was fabulous and very different from what we had seen in Alaska. There were also so many more people here. We had gotten used to being nearly alone throughout the last 2 months and now all of a sudden there were lots and lots of tourists everywhere we went.


These 2 pictures were taken not too far from our campground last night.

Favorite View of the day - Waterfowl Lake

Stunning scenery, sunshine and a football game on the radio when we got to our campground. Internet via my phone since the campground internet didn't work (most of them don't) A good day, all in all.
Tomorrow we make our way to Moose Jaw, SK
