From Calgary I made the drive west to Banff. The drive coming into the mountains was so nice but that was just the start.
When I got to the town of Banff I met a couple rad people and had some drinks with them for the night. We ended up all going to Hoo Doos Night Club after doing shots of hot sauce. It wasn't that hot.
The morning brought the trip north bound on the Glacier Highway. It was the most amazing drive. Everyone should go do it. It was so beautiful I don't even know how to explain it to you. Mountains, cliffs, trees, wildlife, streams, glaciers, snow and rock filled the landscape. It was almost unreal. Rain and I stopped in at Glacier Lake and the North Saskatchewan River for a swim. The water was cold but it was fun.
After we continued to Jasper past the Ice Fields and eventually to Hilton for some much needed gas. I was starting to get pretty nervous but everything was so expensive in the park and I figured I could make it through to Hilton on gas. Just made it. Calgary to Hilton through the National Parks on one tank. 550km. I was impressed. After some gas and groceries I started heading north on highway 40 where I am right now in Grande Cache Alberta where I will spend the night.
