Road trip through the Rockies ...

After 4 days of energetic culture in New York City, it was time to hit the Rockies for a dose of fresh mountain air and physical activity.  On Thursday, we took the whole day to drive from Calgary to the lovely mountain town of Jasper.  The drive winds its way through both the Banff and Jasper National Parks along the Trans Canadian Highway and through the Icefield Parkway.  Along the way, there are many places to stop to admire views of mountains, glaciers, lakes, rivers, streams and waterfalls.  Take a ride with us and enjoy these pictures.
