Banff and Jasper National Parks

June 24, 2009

Left Fort Macleod and headed north to Banff and Jasper National Parks. The view was tremendous of snow topped mountains with glaciers and occasionally Alpine lakes. The rivers/creeks that ran along the roadside were so clear we could see the bottom from the highway. We braved rain and mist and heavy winds along the way and then the sun would suddenly light up the mountains. Through Banff we saw 2 black bears and the second one we got a chance to photo and video him feeding along the roadside. Traveling through Jasper National Park we videod young big horn sheep, elk and almost videoed a coyote, but he was too quick. We are very pleased with how the truck and trailer are working out. We had a few anxious times going up some really loooong, steeep inclines, but everything went well. Temperatures are still 50's and 60's and the wind seems to continually follow us. Still having an amazing time.
