The Icefields Parkway

The Icefields Parkway (Highway 93 North) runs north-south between Lake Louise, Alberta, and Jasper, Alberta for 232 km (144 miles). We were sorry - but not surprised- to see that most of the walks and scenic spots were “closed/fermé” because of snow. We stopped only a couple of times, once for a comfort stop that wasn’t very comfortable because of the snow and ice on the ground, and my shoes especially not coping with it. So most of the photos here were taken from the car by my iPhone. I will download Graham’s much better camera shots and include them at a later date.

I must say it was a great experience, one we wouldn’t have missed - even though we didn’t see bear. Perhaps tomorrow when we head back down the Parkway to our hotel at Lake Louise- not the Chateau - way too expensive for us. Meanwhile Jasper is a lovely town and our hotel, Jasper Chateau no less, is very comfortable. Hoping you are all well and enjoying the beautiful false summer that Autumn sometimes brings in Oz.Baca lagi
