a bit of trip history (that was lost)
reet:
Highway 93 “the Icefields Parkway” (road between Jasper & Banff, taking in Lake Louise) is THE most beatiful road EVER!
the Athabasca glacier is a fantastic place – I took a ride on a snowbus onto the glacier…very cold (strangely) then went to the ‘toe’ of the glacier, which is receding at 10m per year currently
the rest of the icefileds are incredible too: the road is surrouinded by the most magnificent mountains and lakes which are SO green and turquoise and blue…unreal!
I stayed at Jasper for 2 weeks – doing many of the trails in teh area and most of thegood peaks (though the early snow prevented acces to some
Mount Edith Cavell is my fave place to date: it a high mountain with 3 glaciers on/around it…one of which hangs from the rocks 800ft above you and another stops at a pool/lake and drops icebergs on to it!
went white water rafting on the Fraser river (below mount robson with a couple of lads I met (Steve, Chris and Cameron)…great day…followed by a major drink in Jasper nightclub
Ive now travelled 220km South to Banff – a much bigger and more commercial place, but still very pretty too
been here for 3 days and met up with Steve & Chris (Leicester lads) again…had a major night out
the next day was cancelled 8^$
hopefully some pics below:
