We covered 2511 miles on this trip mostly on roads like this -pretty deserted, but there are some interesting signs.
|
|
Wild skies and clouds. Typical of the Canadian Rockies. Parking area at a 2000 year old forest.
|
One of the oldest forests in Canada, about 2000 years old.
|
Rotting tree in the old forest

|
Way far noth to be on "Mexican Time"
|
Happy cashier in a grocery in McBride. Appropriate decoration on the wall. Rest of him was probably sold from the freezer.
|
Early in the morning, the clouds hang on the peaks.
|
|
Northern Rockies have plenty of evergreens and moss.
|
This part was the only sign of civilization for about 100 miles, approaching Jasper from the west.

Rocks & glaciers, everywhere you look.

If you look closely, you can see these mountains were formed by the collision of two plates and the flat rocks were pushed up to a 45 degree angle.
|
Gorgeous vistas all along the Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Banff
|
|
Zooming in on the ice-covered mountains. This is part of the Columbia Icefield
|
The "colors" are natural - here high above the timberline

You rarely see a Raven face-on, but you can see how they would spook somebody like Edgar Allen Poe!
