This morning was another slow start. Hey, we’re retired, we don’t have to
hurry. A bit of housekeeping was in
order, which included dumping and filling our holding tanks. We can manage a week or more if we are
careful, but usually opt to do it every few days. This inside of the RV doesn’t take much in
the way of cleaning. We have to keep
things in their place or they start flying around.
A short drive up to Lake Louise brought us into a very
congested and touristy town. All I
wanted to do was get a picture of the lake, but it was too crowded to find a
place to park our big rig. The visitor
center was very crowded, so I skipped that too.
ICE FIELDS PARKWAY
What a delightful surprise!
We had never really heard of this parkway. Everyone mentions Banff and Lake Louise. Beautiful, beautiful vistas of snow covered
mountains, the highway was in very good shape and easy driving. It was a wide valley between the mountain
ranges, so no white-knuckle hairpin turns along the mountain edges with no
guardrails.
We stopped for the night at the Athabasca Glacier Discovery
Center. Out our window we watched the
Sno-cats take tourists up onto the glacier.
Since we’ll probably doing the same thing in Alaska, we decided to wait
on that one.
