The Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Jasper was a highlight of this trip. Our stops: Herbert Lake; Crowfoot Glacier; Bow Lake and Bow Glacier; Bow Summit and Peyton Lake; Columbian Icefields area; Sunwapta Falls; and, finally, Athabasca Falls.
Peyto Lake
Athabasca Glacier
we saw bears next to road near Jasper and elk in the campground.
Whistler’s Park, Jasper
The Whistlers campground was a full hookup *and* pleasant – not packed together plus trees.
Lake Louise
We visited Lake. Louise. Very pretty. John went up the trail to the viewpoint. I pooped out about a third of the way up just as it got really steep. Molly stayed with me – she is not a good hiker – she wants to go perpendicular to the trail for scents-stations. I talk led to a lawyer from Columbus OH who is US corporate counsel for a Canadian energy company. 
Next we drove out to Lake Moraine, which is a spectacular sight. John did his mountain goat number and climbed the Rock Pile to get even more spectacular views. I spoke with a woman from Ontario about New Foundland. The ferry required to get there is expensive but worth it. Gros Morn is the place to go. She advised not doing New Foundland in the same trip with the Maritime provinces – they spent 2.5 weeks in NFL alone.

On the way out of Waterton, we drove through the Bison Paddock where we saw a solitary bison, a group of four bison, and a wolf. As we drove to Banff, we saw big horned sheep. We provisioned in Cranmore.
