Moving North Too Fast!!

We enjoyed a few days in Banff National Park and then moved on.  We drove the Icefield Parkway to Jasper about 200 mile then turned west for about 40 miles.  Stayed in a small Mom & Pop RV park in McBride.  On the Parkway we were always close to snow and ice, especially in the two passes we went thru at nearly 7,000 ft.
That is the Crowfoot Glacier in the middle of the pic

That is a lot of SNOW above and behind Tucson
We missed the turn-out to stop and get a good picture - but this is a huge frozen lake!  

Along the by the Icefield Parkway
COLD!!

COLDER!!
BJ got excited about seeing bear cubs and Mom feeding in woods near highway!  Traffic stopper!

However, here in McBride we are down to about 2500 ft and the snow covered mountains are way in the distance. We set outside for happy hour for a change.  Another RV arrived and we welcomed them to the neighbor hood.  They were a German couple in a rental.  We enjoyed talking with them. But mainly it was nice to set outside in the Sun.

Tomorrow we head to Dawson Creek and the beginning of the AlCan Highway - now called the AK Highway!

Always at home, no matter where we are!!
