11. Clearwater to Jasper
25 augustus 2023, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
After a last short visit of the Wells Gray Park, I started my jouney to the Rocky Mountains. During my first 10 days, I've already seen and visited some mountains. But the the road to Jasper showed the most impressive range yet. Nearly every 500 m, I wanted to stop and take a photo. Weather was, after the cloudy last days in Clearwater, now sunny and so the view on Mount Robson, with nearly 4.000 m the highest mountain of the Rockies, was excellent. Did a stop on the Visitor Center of this mountain, who got his own National Park. Stopped during my trip also to observe the salmon migration and to do birdwatching at the Moose and Yellowhead Lake. Arriving in Alberta, time changed (mountain time -1h to Pacific time) and had to show my National Park pass. Checked in at Jasper in my Lodge with view into the forest - and yes, elks are walking through the areal 🦌Meer informatie

12. Jasper (Part 1)
26 augustus 2023, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Started the day with breakfast and a little hikeon the Valley of 5 Lakes. Every lake had a different green (in a positive way) to blue colour - in reality better than on the photos! After that, down the Icefield Parkway to the Athabasca Falls. Impressive, but lot of tourists...
In Jasper, I visited the Pyramid lake with the isle of the same name, drived the Yellowhead Highway (wonderful views again) in the search for wildlife (bighorn sheeps 🐏) and stopped at the Medicine Lake . And yes, Canadian animals don't care for traffic 🤷‍♂️Meer informatie

Starting at 6 am (2° C 🥶) to arrive for sunrise at the Moose Lake trail - a lake known for, yes, Moose sightings 🦌 50 minutes drive, 2 hours waiting - and no mooses. And spoiler alert - did this 3 time during my time in Jasper. After that, little hike at the Maligne Canyon. In the afternoon, boat cruise on the Maligne Lake with stopp at the famous Spirit Island. Probably the most photographed landscape in whole Canada and I think this might be true 🏞 After that, another stopp at the Moose Lake...Meer informatie

"Aller guten Dinge sind 3" - yes, I spotted a moose 😍 heard a splash at the Moose Lake and saw for 5 seconds a cow from behind - to fast for a photo but an amazing experience :) After that, return to the lodge and time for laundry and discovering the surroundings of my stay in Jasper. After that, drive to the Jasper Skytram and hike on the Whistlers Mountain (not to confuse with Mt. Whistler, see day 5). What a view and could you imagine this view without smoke? Must be stunning! Diner at my Lodge, where I met a luxembourgish couple from Consdorf 🇱🇺Meer informatie

15. Icefields Parkway
29 augustus 2023, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Route from Jasper to Banff is known as Highway 93 or the Icefields Parkway. Another phantastic route with stunning landscapes and amazing stopps as the Goat&Glacier Lookout, Sunwapta Falls, Tangle Creek Falls, Wheeping Wall and more. Highlight was the adventure on the Icefields Discover Center where I did a pre-booked tour to the Alabasca Glacier. We drived with a so called Ice Explorer to the top of the glacier and after that, we visited the Glacier Skywalk. After a stop at Waterfowl Lake and Mistaya Canyon, time runned out. As I didn't got a sleeping place near the Highway, I booked a "cabin in the woods" near Golden - 1h30 drive. So I have to return to the Icefields Parkway...
The cabin was amazing - and creeping at the same time. No network, no neighbours and limited electricity. Every noise could be a wild animal, although I only got mice in my cabin 😂Meer informatie

16. Golden to Canmore
30 augustus 2023, Canada ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
From my little cabin in the wood into a lodge for 6 people 🙈 After leaving my little isolated house, I visited the Yoho National Park and stopped at the Wapta Falls, Natural Bridge, Emerald Lake (no photo can capture this amazing emerald colour) and the impressive Takakkaw Falls. After that, arrived in my lodge, where I have now 2 bathrooms, 2 chambres and a big kitchen😅 In the afternoon, I visited Canmore, a little city with a lot of nature and finally I got my Poutine, a canadian speciality 🤤Meer informatie

Cloudy and rainy weather announced, so my plans changed. As I have a little problem with my knee, too, I decided to do a "lazy" day. Have only driven to Calgary, the capital of Alberta. Visited the Calgary Zoo, Calgary Tower and strolled through downtown and the park. After that, did go shopping in Canmore to cook the next days in my lodge.Meer informatie

18. Banff (Part 1)
1 september 2023, Canada ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
My stay for the moment is the "Banff Gate Mountain Resort" - but 15 min away from Canmore, 30 min from Banff and 1 hour from Lake Louise. So the next days are more "Area around Banff" - first difference to Jasper. Next difference is, that Banff is even more a touristic spot and downtown of the village is highly frequented and reminds me of a town in Switzerland.

As yesterday was rainy and cloudy and the night even had a thunderstorm, I wanted to be flexibel. Booked attractions for the following days and did in the morning a lookout for wild (Lake Minnewanka, Spray Lake Provincial Park, Bow Valley Parkway). As it got more and more sunny around 12 p.m., I visited Banff, did a little shopping, hiking and took the gondola to Sulphur Mountain.Meer informatie

19. Banff (Part 2)
2 september 2023, Canada ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Today was "lake day". Best sunny weather, I had yesterday booked a shuttle to 2 of the most visited places in Alberta. Since this year, access to Moraine Lake is only possible with a shuttle service. And to Lake Louise, park lots are filled early in the morning. So I booked a shuttle to both lakes - and the new system is understandable as there were many, many tourists 😳 And I started early in the morning, can't imagine how much people will be there later in the day.

But Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are both stunning and next to Spirit Island (day 13) sureley the most photographed landscapes in Canada. After that, I returned to the Icefields Parkway to visit Lake Peyto and Lake Bow. Same situation: beautiful lakes, but to many tourists. As there were in Spray Lake Provincial Park to many tourists, too (saturday + long weekend as canadian celebrate labour day on 4th of september), I decided to chill at my lodge, do a little swim in the pool and enjoy Star Wars on TV.Meer informatie

20. Banff (Part 3)
3 september 2023, Canada ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Started again in Lake Louise, this time with a gondola trip. This gondola is famous for the wildcorridor underneat it - however guess what, didn't see anything 😬 After a hike to the Kicking Horse Pass Viewpoint (funny name) and a stop in the Wildlife Interpretive Center, back to the Bow Valley Parkway where I visited the Johnson Canyon. Third canyon on my way through Canada - and again to much tourists. There was only a small path and to much people for my taste 😥 After a pizza dinner in Banff 🤤, I stopped at the Mt. Norquay Lookout an took a lookout for wildlife at the golfcourse. There I met a whole herd of elks - must been over 15 individuald 🦌Meer informatie
