Canadian Rockies, that is. Okay, so the Canadian Rockies are beyond description. Absolutely awesome. I loved the several days that I spent up there, although the weather wasn't ideal. I hit a lot of snow and ice on the passes.
I had better weather in Banff NP. Then headed into a graveyard of mountains as weather came in for my trip through Jasper NP. The Icefield Parkway, Highway 93, had huge tombstones peaking in and out of the foggy cloud cover as I made my way through a beautifully frightening valley.
Surprisingly, the Canadian Rockies are not taller than the US counterparts. However, they are much more striking. With sharper peaks, more stone and few trees, they are very dramatic.
