Sorry for such a long time without updates. This is by far the longest time I've spent up here in Calgary with my GF's family and it has been excellent but very taxing at the same time due to some family issues. Going to be heading back to the US in a couple days here...but for now a thread update is in order.
So, we got the truck out last week and went all through the ice fields and up into Jasper national park, up through edmonton and back down to Calgary. It was very hard to find any interesting roads in JNP but we were able to find some nice spots well off the highway.
We stopped off for a bite at Helen lake to enjoy the views.
I had to stop and take a picture of this tour bus for the Columbia ice fields. way cool!!!
Sure makes the mighty Dodge seem small...
Our camp site for the first night off highway 93. Turned out to be very cold and wet the following morning so we warmed up by the fire and headed for Jasper...
On the way I found some roads that narrowed quickly into single track paths and had to reverse out for about 1/2 mile
We stopped for lunch in jasper and continued to find this spot off a road off hwy 16
We stayed at this spot for 2 days, wanted to stay longer but it started to snow pretty badly on the 2nd night, so we left the following morning..
We stayed at Louise's aunt's house that night in Edmonton and made it home to Calgary the next day.
Overall was a nice trip with beautiful scenery. Unfortunately the roads off the highways are all blocked off and hard to access in jasper area. the old Dodge ran great and got some good numbers for fuel mileage..thats all for now folks I hope you enjoyed the pictures!
