Pete & Terry,
We enjoyed Kamloops. It was a big surprise to drive into this large city out on the plains of Canada. We had no idea what to expect. We stayed at rustic CG about 4 or 5 miles south of town. We didn't mind the few miles drive to get into town. Lots of nice restaurants and even found the casino. And donated a few $$$.

You are right about the road from Banff to Jasper. We must have stopped twenty times between Banff and the Columbia Icefields! We were constantly stopping to look at a waterfall cascading down the mountainside. Or drive out to see one more pretty little lake. And what made the trip even better was very little traffic. You'd better hurry if you want to see and walk on the glaciers. They are receding at an alarming rate.

The next time we visit we hope to make it up to Jasper and of course visit the Icefield once again. We also did not visit Edmonton and we'd like to do that. Met nothing but nice folks on our Canada swing. Eh! Happy Trails, Dennis
