AK Trip - Day Seven - Friday, June 22nd,

Kootenai NP - Banff NP - Yoho NP - Jasper NP


Today we left Invemere, BC and rode thru Kootenai NP and into Banff NP. After picking up the NP stamp we continued north to Lake Louise and ate lunch. From there we stopped at YoHo NP and then rode the Icefield Parkway thru Jasper National Park.

For a great deal of the time, as we traversed the 145 miles of The Icefield Parkway, snow could be found along the roadway. It made for a cool ride.

Words simply can’t describe the beauty of the mountains along the Icefield Pkwy. The view is breathtaking by any measure. While you're at it, put Jasper National Park in my top five park list as well!










Colombia Glacier

We ended the day in Hinton, Alberta in another Super 8 Motel without Internet service. Well, in all fairness they did have Wi Fi but the signal was one bar in our room. Too weak to be of any use.

On a weather note, it stormed here last night. The hail piled up at the bottom of the drain spouts and remained there when we left this morning.
