On the road
Heading from Calgary to our first stop in Banff

Sharing the road
We ran into a few obstacles along the way

Lake Louise
One of the most photographed lakes in the world... why not one more

Lunch view
Looking out the window from Chateau Lake Louise

It looks warm...
...but the clothing tells another story

Lake Moraine
Another stunning lake just a few kilometres down the road

Banff vista
Taken from a bridge in Banff Town

Banff Springs Hotel
We thought we'd check out the budget accommodation down the road

Balcony view
We're just glad they allowed the riff-raff to check out the place

Tea or a beer?
If you pretend you're a guest, they'll serve you anything

Two Jacks Lake
Yet another lake worth stopping at

Four!
If the trees and bunkers don't get you, the wildlife will

A river somewhere
A detour on our way up the Icefields Parkway

Peyto Lake
A short hike off the highway and we came across this lookout

A rocky mountain
Fancy seeing that here

Athabasca Falls
Ice and frost forming on the rocks below

Watch for pedestrians
This guy welcomed us into Jasper

The main drag
George was attracted to this place for some reason

The Downstream Bar
My favourite beer and my new favourite sport

Bear back riding
One of the friendly locals

The flight home
All good things must come to an end
