We left Banff, driving north on the Banff / Jasper hwy 93. The route winds it way through both parks, reveling an entirely different view of the Canadian Rockies. The 160 mile route climbs and descends through couple thousand feet, at times the S curves are a little daunting. But the drive is well worth the trouble. Lakes that are between turquoise and deep blue. Rivers that bubble their way through the park, fed by snow melts. Waterfalls that descend from mountain tops. Mountain goats, sheep, a moose, but yet no bears. We saw hundreds of cyclists, brave souls, making the trip through the park, all 160 miles.
We are now in Hinton AB, the jump off point for Alaska. Route 40 runs northwest to our next destination, an overnight in Grand Prairie, then our Rendezvous in Dawson Creek with the Caravan.
This Sunday makes three weeks out, but seems like much less time.
