Jasper and the end of the Rockies







We reached our final destination of Jasper after a great nights sleep at the Icefields Center, the best view this trip. There are so many things to remember and we both want to return. The National Parks take their wildlife very seriously going to great expense to save their resources (and us) with critter crossing that go below and over the roads along the Trans-Canadian Highway. With the exception of all the bears, we did not see the volume that we saw in Yellowstone or the Grand Tetons and part of that is the size of the parks and the efforts of the conservation officers to keep people and the large animals apart. It is a long journey through the prairies to get here, but it is worth it! It is a special and unique place on this planet, from the hand crafted signs to the smallest animals, we will hold this place in our hearts forever.
