Banff National Park | Canadian Rockies
When Canada’s two most famous national parks are right next door to each other, it makes sense to visit both in the same trip! After our week in Jasper, we headed south down the Icefields Parkway to Banff National Park…
Jasper National Park | Canadian Rockies
Once we had seen our share of waterfalls in Wells Gray, our journey continued west across Canada and into Alberta. Our destination: the Canadian Rockies, the spectacular mountain range that straddles the province from north to south, dotted with rivers…
