Canada Road Trip- Banff to Jasper

Banff is a beautiful city.  This is the end of Banff Avenue
 It was rainy this morning when we headed out.  The clouds are surrounding  the mountains.
 The mountains are amazing in this area.
 About every five miles they have built these animal crossing over the highway.
 Lake Lousie
 The glacier behind Lake Louise.
 This is the hotel by Lake Louise.  It is amazing.

 I cannot belief the turquoise blue water.  It is amazing.
 We went for a walk by the lake and saw some beautiful sights.
 On our drive towards Jasper we saw lots of different glaciers.
 We saw lots of majestic mountains.  Wow it was gorgeous.
 There were lots of bikers on the pass.  I cannot believe the strength they have to bike to such a high altitude.
 We loaded on the bus and headed to the Glacier Skywalk.
 It is a glass platform that hangs out over the glacier water as it cascades down the mountains.  It was an awesome  experience.
 These are a few of the views below us.  Pictures do not show the magnitude.

 Welcome to Jasper.  The whole day has just been beautiful scenery.
We stayed at the Athabasca Hotel in Jasper.  The rooms were full of antiques and also so beautiful.
