So it was time to depart Jasper and head for the equally beautiful town of Banff. The only way to roll down is on the Icefields Parkway, often claimed to be one of the worlds top 10 most scenic drives. On the way down you pass by majestic waterfalls, 400+ year old glaciers, huge cliffs and valleys formed 76 million years ago, seemingly unreal colored lakes, bears, beavers, elk, deer, you name it they have it and you will probably get a chance to see it if you keep your eyes peeled. I highly recommend hiring a car or jumping on a bus tour so you can stop off along the way and attempt to take in the breathtaking scenery. I did the latter and thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. Managed to see 3 black bears and a grizzly, suffice to say I was pretty excited. But clearly not as excited as some of the tourists climbing out of their cars to get a close up happy snap of the black bears cub... not the most intelligent thing I've witnessed in my life time. Enjoy :)
Cheers
