We eventually prised our way in to the hire car and headed off towards Jasper. Our original plan was to drive to Jasper via Edmonton to the North. However, as it's a lovely sunny day, we decide to head directly West into the mountains via Banff. Just to increase the scenic factor even further, we take a "minor" detour via Kananaskis. I say "minor" because actually it adds around 100 miles to our journey to Jasper. But it's worth it for the awesome scenery.
This is a photo of our car. As the Jeep Cherokee-or-similar that we'd booked isn't available (as usual), we've been upgraded to this "full-size" SUV, the Ford Expedition Limited Max. And "full-size" is a very good word for it. A quick Internet search indicates that it's got a 310bhp 5.4 liter V8, seven seats and a full compliment of toys, including sat-nav and heated and cooled seats (even the back seats are heated and the rear-most seats will fold away at the touch of a button). All in all, it's really rather nice.
