Adventure

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power" Alan Cohen

Oh, Canada! Banff National Park

5/22/18 Tuesday through 5/25/18 Friday Oldman River PP to Banff NP

After hanging out in Great Falls, MT for two nights, we headed north again a few hundred miles and crossed into Canada.  We spent Wednesday evening on Oldman River Provincial Park outside of Fort McLeod, Alberta, Canada, a solitary place near the highway.

We drove on Thursday to Banff National Park.  The mountains here are beyond description!  Carved by glaciers, they tower over the Bow River Valley, tipped with snow and ice.  We spent two nights in Banff, soaking up the tourist spots for a little bit the first day and had lunch downtown.  We stayed at Tunnel Mountain Trailer Park Campground.  Canadian parks are the best I've been to!  Clean, spacious, friendly and beautiful settings.  We hiked to a waterfall in Johnson Canyon and soaked up the mountains.

As I write this, we're planning on going to Whistler campground in Jasper National Park, taking the Ice fields Parkway.  I'm having trouble uploading pictures to the blog, I'll add them when I get a faster internet connection.    Connectivity, yeah, here's some pics of Banff and Johnson Canyon and Banff:
