Rockies - part 2

---

Here are pics from some of our favorite places from the second leg of our trip. Part 2 started on July 27th when we flew back to Salt Lake City to pick up the camper and truck that had been stored for a few weeks. We basically spent a week in Idaho, three weeks in Canada and then came down to Montana and Wyoming for the last couple of weeks before blasting home. The Canadian rockies are unique because of all the Glaciers and even in August the temps are in the 70’s and 40’s.
