The Icefields Parkway In Banff & Jasper National Park
Earlier this fall my husband and I had the opportunity to stay in Jasper, Alberta in Jasper National Park. We had to be home in Kalispell, MT the next day. We had a whirlwind day with lots of stops, picture taking and rushing. Definitely not ideal but it was so neat to see the glacial icefields and various other sights along the way. Today I’ll share with you all the one stop at the Icefields, that my husband in particular was very excited to see…
The cool blue, turquoise glacial ice was beautiful…
Some rocks with glacial striations…
Rugged mountain peaks…
More glacial striations! It’s unimaginable the amount of pressure and force of the ice to make these marks on these rocks, let alone that they carved these valley out…
The icefield…
More turquoise glacial ice…
Picture opportunity… 
A tour bus going up the steep mountain side up to the glacier…
Glacial snow covered in pebbles that were carried in the l layers of snow that use to be above the snow/ice but have now melted. It’s quite a thing to think about the water flowing besides the ice and wonder when it was in liquid form last?
The beautiful scenery was breathtaking!
