The Icefield Parkway (Highway 93) from the Jasper townsite to Lake Louise, is named for the tremendous glaciers that flank the west side of the 143 mile route. The spectacular drive - one of the most scenic in north America - parallels the Great Continental Divide and goes up and down and around the mountains between Banff and Jasper National Park. The two RV Gypsies traveled and photographed mountains, lakes, glaciers and more from Jasper through Banff. |
The two RV Gypsies are not
sure of the name of this first mountain and river, but it was a great
view from their lunch site as they drove on The Icefield Parkway. |
