A fabulous day! We started out by nipping back to Lake Louise – the crowds were much diminished at 8am, and wonderfully clear weather gave us some great reflections. Then, headed North. The Icefields Parkway more or less follows the Great Divide – running roughly due North from Banff to Jasper, for some 230 km. The Parkway (aka Highway 93) is stunning. It’s in the National Parks so HGVs are banned. We made several stops as we headed North, starting with lakes full of reflections, distant glaciers, wonderful views etc. Unfortunately, there were no bears crossing the road as others we met told us about. Roughly the mid point is where the main visitor centre is, and, more to the point, where the Columbia Icefield is near enough to the road for people to get to and walk on, without major hiking. We, however, missed that, going instead for the Glacier Skywalk. I’d thought that it went over the glacier, it didn’t, but it did give a great view, and made the glass floor of the Spinnaker Tower seem fairly tame. By the time we’d done that, it was getting late – and the cloud was building up, so we just headed for Jasper, only stopping just outside the town, for a final photo. We found a rather splendid restaurant, the Raven Bistro, which had a good range of both veggie & non-veggie dishes.
