We spent two days driving through the Canadian Rockie Mountains. They are absolutely beautiful. At times we were reminded of our drives to Colorado, but at other times these were just awesome to see. We camped one night in Banff National Park, and then traveled all day on Thursday through the Rockies and the Iceland Parkway to Jasper. Lots of pictures, although some were taken through the front windshield of the moving motorhome. I am surprised at how well they turned out. (Just overlook a few "bug spots") We would still be driving if we had to stop for every mountain picture ..... and I just don't think Jim would have done that. We did pull off a couple of times to let the brakes cool down a bit.

We are spending two days here in Grand Prairie, about 85 miles from Dawson Creek, where we will meet up with our caravan tomorrow. Nice to have a free day. Those mountains put this motorhome through a lot of work. All seems to be going well. Temps in the 80's this past week and look to be good this coming week. Have seen some smoke from the fires around us.

Looking forward to starting our new adventure!

I got out while in a traffic jam to see what was in the road ahead. Jim "promised" to pick me up! We were waiting on some mountain goats who were playing on the road.

Awesome
Can't wait to see some of that scenery for myself. It takes my breath away.
