Entering Kootenay National Park, BC.What a spectacular drive! We crossed the Continental Divide and proceded into Alberta and the Banff National Park. The Canadian Rockies are unbelieable! We had no idea!
The Lake is covered with ice and people are hiking across the Lake. Imagine this place during the summer!
We walked through "The Fairmont Chateau, Lake Louise" and agreed it's the place to stay in the summer. Special now - only $699 a night! I can envision the lake and the mountains with no snow!
Watch out Charlie, that snow will fall on you! After leaving Lake Louise, we entered "the Icefields Parkway" highway. Banff National Park gave us a map with names for each mountain along the drive! Saw a few glaciers along the way.
WOW! AWESOME! OH MY GOSH!
We used these words hundreds of times over 170 miles. This drive was like driving in the Tetons all day! After looking at the pictures, I think "these are not even close to the real views"! GOD'S Creation is truly AMAZING!
Charlie figured I took 1.7 pictures per mile during that 170 miles. Think about how much time I spent getting those pictures down to a few for this blog. That is why I am a few days behind and also have not had good internet connections.
Finally made it to Icefield Centre. The National Park assured us there was an RV park with no hook-ups. Yes, there was a parking lot that sloped downhill everywhere. We did get level enough to park and run the generator until bedtime. Got the trailer as warm as we could and turned off the generator. It couldn't have been a quieter rest, but Charlie didn't sleep - worried about freezing-up and furnace working properly.
And tomorrow is another terrific day!
