Travel Itinerary 2018 - Alaska Part VI - End of Travel Season

Travel Itinerary 2018 – Alaska Part VI – End of Travel Season

From Banff, Alberta, we headed east on the Trans-Canada Highway, AB-1, towards Calgary, Alberta. We had lovely views of the Canadian Rockies along the way, although these quickly gave way to rolling foothills and then the open expanses of the Great Plains. At Calgary we turned south and headed towards the US/Canada border and Great Falls, Montana.

By now we were feeling rather exhausted from all the travel and decided to make a fairly quick trip back to our winter grounds in SoCal. For our return trip we decided to travel quickly, with short stops and little sight-seeing, except for a few longer stays while visiting friends along the way. This would mean getting back in early October, nearly a month earlier than we originally planned.

(August 3-30, 2018) Crossing British Columbia

From Stewart, BC, we made our way across British Columbia towards Jasper National Park in Alberta. The morning we left Stewart was lovely, with tattered clouds hugging the mountain slopes and mist rising from the rivers and lakes along the way. Our route took us along the spectacularly scenic Glacier, Cassier-Stewart, and Yellowhead Highways, BC-37a, BC-37, and BC-16, respectively.
