Well, we made it! We covered some miles yesterday, that’s for sure. All the way from our not so picturesque, little trailer park in Saskatchewan to the beautiful Canadian Rockies, about 450 miles all told. Passed fields and fields of Canola yesterday and the rolling grasslands that let us know that we were in the west at last! We kept looking for the Rockies, thinking that we would see them from at least a couple of hours out the way you do in Colorado. We didn’t actually get our first glimpse until Calgary, and then suddenly there they were big and beautiful. Alden and Tilghman were awestruck and finally began to enjoy the scenery after days of nothingness (no offense Saskatchewan and Alberta!). And, man, is it gorgeous here. Camping in Yoho National Park on the banks of the Yoho River. Planning on a day of hiking and taking in the sites then on to Bay and John’s on Tuesday. It was awfully nice this morning knowing that we didn’t have to pack up and get on the road. Looking forward to staying put for a day.
Watching the sun touch the peaks and travel down the rocky slopes as I charge up the computer at a little cafe in Fields, BC. Reminds me of my summer in Jackson Hole with all the tourists and the chilly mountain air. Speaking of which we were all a bit frosty last night and ended up all snuggled together for warmth. Very sweet to wake up with sleepy little children cozied up next to you.
We'll add pictures later.
