The Icefields Parkway must be one of the most amazing roads to drive in the world. It’s certainly one of the most amazing that I’ve ever driven. Running between Lake Louise and Jasper, the Icefields Parkway is around 150 miles long and, as the speed limit is only 50mph, even if you don’t stop to take any photos, you’re guaranteed three continuous hours of mind-blowing scenery.
There are often quite a few animals to be seen too (usually bighorn sheep and caribou). On this particular day we saw a pair of coyotes walking in the snow by the road. Unfortunately, not being adept at taking photos of things that move about, I was only able to get this photo of one of them.
We made it to our hotel in Jasper just before dark. With the jet-lag kicking in, we were just able to stay awake for long enough to have a bite to eat and put away a couple of beers. Interesting beers sampled today were Big Rock Athabasca, Big Rock Cleopatra and a bottle of Moosehead lager (I didn’t think I quite had the space left to squeeze in a third pint).
