Day 17, Wed Aug 5th, update




Well today was the day we were all waiting for! We started off early and had a chilly ride from Valemount into Jasper for breakfast. We saw elk (see pic) and then moved on. We had a bit of a rainy and cold ride to the Columbia Icefields, but once there, things improved weather wise, and we were all awestruck. Liam and Steve braved climbing part of the glacier (see pic of Steve). For those of you who have driven it, Hwy 93 from Jasper to Banff is probably one of the most beautiful rides in the world. The mountains are completely awe inspiring, and we all loved the ride. We went to Lake Louise, and then on to Banff where we treated ourselves to a nice hotel and a great meal of local delicacies at a fine restaurant. All in all an amazing day.
