Icefields Parkway
Back to the breathtaking Icefields Parkway, we leave Banff National Park and enter Jasper National park. The views along the road are too beautiful for safe driving.
Cleopatra's Needle! She must have been some sort of giant, because the Needle is 50 m (160 ft) tall.
Almost at the end of the Bow Valley!
Columbia Icefields
After staying overnight at the Columbia Icefields Chalet, I entered a strange-looking Canadian bus - they have monster truck tires here. Must be because of the snow. I thought this was headed to Edmonton, where the world's largest shopping mall is located, I felt like shopping a bit. Instead, the end of the line was in the middle of nowhere - some remote glacier location! What a bummer... :-)
The sexy, the amazing Paulo Freire avoiding some crevasses and having a heck of a good time!
