We arrived in Banff, Alberta around 7PM on Monday but still managed a quick tour around town and dinner out. It's a neat resort town and has many amenities for the summer or winter tourist. An early start on Tuesday morning got us onto the famous Icefields Parkway that connects the towns Banff and Jasper and is about 175 miles in length. Although a short miles day for us it still took nine hours to make the trip due to many stops for pictures and short hikes. We also experienced snow that was brought on by the low clouds hanging over the parks. As the day wore on the weather improved as we entered Jasper for an overnight stay. It's also a cute town that is set up well for the multi-seasonal activities that the area offers. This will be our northernmost stop on our marathon drive around the country.
Our next major stop will be in Seattle for the weekend.
