Jasper and Baniff Parks

Sunday August 30, 2009

Jasper and Banff National Parks were fairly smoky from forest fires. Therefore, the majestic mountains in the area were obscured.

Snowy white mountain goats frolicked on the hillside and were fun to watch.
We also came across some Stone sheep later in the day. Where is my mom?


Will you please move that truck!


Passing Mt. Kitchener and the Columbia Ice Fields the temperature soared to 83 degrees.
If you look you can see the snow coaches on the Glacier. We did that last time so skipped it today.


Pulling into Rampart Creek Campground and a couple of others we discovered that most campgrounds are for tents and small rigs. Even when we found a spot long enough we couldn’t get into it without scraping both sides with branches.


However, traveling on we ended up staying at Mosquito Creek campground which had a few nice big spots toward the front of the campground. The creek is nice and we passed a pleasant evening. There was not even any bugs!

Tomorrow back to the lower 48.........................
