| The two RV Gypsies are amazed by the scenic beauty
of the Icefield Parkway in the Canadian Rockies |
| This is the most scenic place the two RV Gypsies have been to on this entire trip so far. Although you have to pay each day to drive on the Icefield Parkway, it is more than worth the money. The scenery is amazing and there is lots of wildlife. |
 |
| From Jasper, drive east via Yellowhead Highway 16. A most scenic view. the stretch of Highway 93 between Lake Louise and Jasper is called the Icefield Parkway, and it's one of the most scenic drives in North America, traversing Alberta's Banff and Jasper National Parks in the central Canadian Rockies. The Icefield Parkway accesses campgrounds and major attraction in Jasper and Banff National Parks. | |
| Stopping alongside the highway shortly after leaving Jasper, Karen walked down this "path" to observe some most beautiful scenery. This is just the start of the two RV Gypsies saying "WOW" around almost every corner. | |

Now, looking across the street, Lee is signaling
to Karen to come film what is lurking. |

WOW - it is even more beautiful
on this side of the street - Talbot Lake - |

|
| Around the corner, the two RV Gypsies come to Icefield Centre on the east side of the highway. It features interpretive displays about the Columbia Icefield as well as information services, food, lodging, restroom and public phones. The centre is open May 1 to October 15. Sno-coach tours of glaciers available (see the photo below). Parking for glacier views on west side of highway, provided the photos below. The glaciers visible from the road are fingers of the giant Columbia Icefield, which covers 241 square miles. | |
