Banff/Jasper trip 3: Icefields Parkway

They had Ice Explorer vehicles so that you could traverse the fields of ice. We have seen too many survival shows and movies to know that getting on one could not possibly end well.

And then in the midst of snow and ice you get views like this one.

And then we saw sheep! We kept calling them goats but the park authorities are so appreciative when you properly identify them as sheep.

‘Twas the first of many, many wild animal sightings on this trip. Many.

Strutting by. Like a boss.

Yo.

Not included here because I didn’t manage to snap in time: mama & tiny baby sheep just next to us. So very cute, so very close. Baaaaa.

Banff/Jasper trip 1: Lake Louise

At Lake Louise

One of the best parts is that there are so many random paths to follow.

(Just make sure you don’t end up hiking 5 hours through the valley of beautiful destruction, as occurred during the last time we went to Banff.)

I may have sung a few The Sound of Music tunes during our stay.
