Coping with public and private transport since 2001
Today’s journey took us from Revelstoke to Banff, through some of Canada’s finest National Parks. So far, we only encountered Provincial and Regional Parks, so the State Parks, with paid admission, were new to us.

Generally speaking, the trend of yesterday (the land of plenty) continued and we saw vinyards and orchards everywhere we went. Besides the obvious green stuff, the drive has been filled with sightings of a very familiar flag and really
