Top Five Banff/Jasper Trip Highlights, Eh

We spent last week visiting our northern neighbor, Canada.  What a wonderful time we had.  It was G's first time flying, a feet that she accomplished with relative poise.  There were a few restless and boisterous moments, though overall she did well.  From Calgary we headed to Banff, and then up the Icefields Parkway to Jasper.  Along the way we saw incredible mountain vistas and loads of wild animals.   After a couple days in Jasper, we ventured back towards Banff, to a small railroad town in BC called Field.  It was quaint and full of character, a nice reprieve from the tour buses and general madness of the popular national parks we were visiting.  From Field we completed the trek back to Calgary, stopping for another hike outside of Lake Louise and Banff.  We were blessed with pleasant weather, safety, and joyful memories.  It was a fun adventure.
