After a peaceful night of post backpacking sleep at the Overlander Lodge (just east of Jasper National Park), we were on the road headed towards our campsite in neighboring Banff National Park. Today wouldn’t be just any commute from one place to the next. The drive itself would be the destination. There was no agenda, only a map of the two parks with suggested stops on the Icefields Parkway. The well known suggested places tended to have hoards of tourists, and we preferred hoards of wildlife and the spontaneity of hopping out of the car whenever we saw something cool. That being said, we did make a quick stop at the popular Peyto lake and Lake Louise before rolling into our Johnston Canyon campsite late that evening. It’s pretty hard to put into words how amazing it was to see such a vast amount of beauty in one day, but I suppose that’s why I cart around my trusty Canon, for proof of just that.
