Through Jasper National Park

The Camp we left this morning had no electric, water or internet service. On our way out [this camp was one hour away from the highway] we saw 3 moose. Then we saw a mother brown bear with two cubs. Further down the road we saw a black bear. then we saw a group of mountain goats. The mountains were something to see. The road called the "icefield parkway" was open. They watch it to see that there is not too much snow or ice. We had good weather with only a small amount of snow. We saw a glacier with a sort of giant ATV that took people out on the glacier. We had lunch at a newly opened place, very nice people -they have to generate their own power. [lunch was expensive]
Lake Louise, Banff, Hector lake as well as several icefields were part of out trip. The sun shown brightly most of the day. The Canadian Rockies are in a class by themselves. Many bike cycle riders going up and down these mountain roads. My legs got tired just watching them. Tonight we are at Hinton, there are around 150 other RV's here.
