Yesterday (Wednesday, I think) we completed our trip down to a Lake Louise from Jasper. Upon entering town, we discovered new protocols for visiting the lake and Fairmont hotel have changed due to crowds and limited parking at the lake. One pretty much must reserve and travel from town on the provided shuttles. Since we'd all been up there during our trip in 2014, we searched out new activities. We traveled slightly back into BC, and to the west side of the Divide to Yoho NP where we camped and explored another amazing waterfall. Sadly, we also said goodbye to the Carey's who were primarily traveling east of here for fall colors, but it seems the we are behind the timing of the change this year and will miss the peak colors in many areas. Alas, Rebecca and I will forge ahead as we have many other places to explore and people to meet and visit! Safe travels Carey's!
Takakkaw falls...second in Canada.
Rainy day in Banff. Still amazing views.
We plan to explore the town of Banff today and take a hot springs soak this evening. Calgary is next for some laundry and van TLC before heading east over the middle plains of Canada. We don't expect much stunning scenery, but hope to learn more about First Nation people and culture before our next bigger adventures near Thunder Bay. More updates to come when things get interesting again.
