Yes, the last 2 days were all about driving. And gas stations. And MPGs (around 11.5-12.0 actually). It was time to get some distance between us and Canada (as we’re approaching the end of our trip), and with that, we had a lot of distance to cover. Thursday morning, after packing up at our West Glacier, MT campsite we headed west, along Hwy 2 thru Montana and into Idaho, then turned south onto Hwy 93 until we reached the freeway, I-90 … Read More

You might think we’ve had enough scenery for a while, but no! Now that we’re in the National Park, we’re officially on scenic routes! After breakfast and a grocery & souvenir shopping stop in Jasper, we are heading south now, along Hwy 93 towards Banff.

Hardisty, the impressive Athabasca Falls, and then … Read More
