Day 5 - Bannf to Lake Louise, Icefields Parkway and on to Athabasca Falls in Jasper Park

 

From bus, view of Lodgepole Pines, grow so thick that large animals cannot walk easily thru these forests. Which is why Fire is Mother Nature's way of giving more room for animals to thrive.

On the way to Jasper, we stop at Athabasca Falls

 

Athabasca River has carved deeply into the surface to create a very deep chasm!
