Entering the Icefield Parkway at Jasper

It was another beautiful day for traveling and sightseeing. We left for Jasper and to get information on where we would be traveling and the availability of campgrounds. It turns out if you get to the campgrounds early, there is room available. Lots of stops along the way.
  It was a beautiful sunny day. We have had a lot of these days. We have truly been blessed.  

Terry Fox Rest Stop with the Mount in the distance.







Butterflies at the Visitor Center.





A great mountain in Jasper.


The rock looks like this.


A lot of great mountains.
