Drove through Banff and Jasper National Parks along the Icefields Parkway - 140 miles total. No words within my vocabulary can adequately describe the majesty of these Canadian Rockies. We're still in awe. I'll keep the words to a minimum today and post a couple extra pics instead. Peyto Lake is outstandingly blue-blue-blue, took a steep 10-minute walk to get there, but we all agreed it was prettier than Lake Louise. Denise and I are at Mistaya falls, a cataract to rival the Grand Canyon, on a smaller scale of course. The snow field I'm standing on is the Athabaska Glacier. Tonight we are at Whistler's campground just outside Jasper, Alberta. Tomorrow we'll be heading west and north from here along the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy. 16) toward northern British Columbia.

Those rushing waters behind you are asking to be tamed. Can we see a white water rafting adventure in your future? Let me know if you need some money for Pop tarts and Gas! I want you to be able to make it home. Who eats poptarts anyway it is just sugar and dry crust.
