Driving the Icefield Parkway through Canadian Rockies National Parks Jasper and Banff. Our target campground for last night was full, as were all the campgrounds in Jasper NP. It was a great blessing that we didn't get asked to move out of our sleeping spot in a pull out along CAN-16 just inside Jasper NP. Hopefully we find a good place to sleep tonight.
Some sight seeing and walking planned for today.
Ken had some really interesting driving today between successfully navigating between a semi and a telephone pole in a narrow alley and the extremely congested narrow parking areas at the falls within Jasper NP. That said, the views are fantastic!

Alpine glacier near the Icefields Centre. We stopped here to have some lunch.

We are so very blessed to have ANY campsite tonight, and due to someone canceling (as we pulled up to the registration kiosk!) we got a site with full hook ups! Every single campground in Jasper and Banff NPs were full with the exception of one that we looked at but decided to go further east. We didn't sleep well last night as the six of us shared the table bed and sofa jackknife bed in a pullout. Tonight, all the beds are out, we have city water, electric, and sewer. There is much rejoicing.

Tomorrow we should be back in the Lower 48, headed to Glacier NP in Montana.
