although it was very muddy and wet i would highly recommend this run into the northwest territories. gas is ridiculously overpriced but still worth the trip. a gallon of milk is $11.50. all the waterfalls were kind of a bonus i didn't know about. the weather is not helping me decide where to go next, one day 86 followed by one night at 30. don't want to get caught in any deep mountain snow up here which i'm told can hit at any time. heading south thru alberta and will take the icefield parkway which is right at my all time favorite highway. next stop the "lower 48"

Love it!
Hey rrr! Talk about beautiful waterfalls! That one looked like some used a skill saw to cut the edge where the water falls over! The sunsets and sunrises were way to beautiful! It was a nice pick me up for us, we are at the hospital in Marshfield, WI. My mom had her surgery, it went well, she has been in ICU for 2 days now. They had to put in an epidural iv in her back to allieviate the pain, which is so much better now, tg. Keep taking pix! we love to see your adventures through you!!!!! By the way, anymore "rock people" following you and Echo??? LMAO
