It should have been a short day in the Icefields Parkway down from Jasper to Banff (about 200miles). But we did a detour up to Edith Cavell, then Athabasca Falls, along the Parkway to the Columbia Icefields (Glacier).
After lunch we hit a traffic jam due to a head-on down the road and lost two hours. We stopped in at Peyto Lake but didn’t have time at Lake Louise.
This road is spectacular - you think you’ve seen the best of it then you go over a rise or round a bend and there’s some new spectacular snow-capped mountain range. I’ve got to get back here
