day 6 (July 7th) - travel day
on the road by 9 am and reached the entrance to Jasper National Park
turned down the Icefileds Parkway which was quite a bumpy ride
we stopped at the Athabasca glacier which was packed with visitors from all over
the globe....and more rental RV's than flies if you can believe it
the Rockies are so beautiful & majestic that photos
{which I have not been able to forward to my
ghost writer for this leg of the trip }
don't do them justice....you need to see them in real life
I loved the Indian paintbrush and other wild flowers along the side of the road
at Lake Louise we took the less hectic route of the Bow Valley Parkway
after aborting our drive through Banff in the mammoth trailer
we headed to Canmore where we found a great tourist centre
.... they directed us to the Bow Valley Provincial Campsite
hunkered down for the night, quick din-din then off to bed
{again not unhooking for a quick get-away in the am}
animals seen so far - 5 bears & 6 deer
plus 1 squirrell we forgot to mention back on day one
Missy still remembers it though
toodle-loo
