Saskatchewan Valley Panorama - a photo on Flickriver

As already stated, the icefields parkway (www.icefieldsparkway.ca/) is one of the most stunning roads on earth. There are so many lakes, glaciers, rivers, falls and mountains, you could take a week (or more) to do this stretch of ca 200 km's between Jasper and Banff.

Close to Saskatchewan River Crossing, there is a parking lot with this view on the valley. I arrived here at the end of the day, and was lucky that the sky opened and the sun lit the landscape for a last time. another great thing was enjoying the view completely on my own, and all the far away sounds of nature.

From 11 June till the 25th of July, I traveled in Canada. Starting in Brighton Ontario, where my sister lives at the border of an amazing part of lake Ontario, I flew to Vancouver, and Vancouver island where I took the boat at Port Hardy to take part 1 of the Inside passage, to Prince Rupert in BC. Two days later I took part 2 to Skagway in Alaska. When coming from Skagway Alaska, you can take the train to Carcross. it is a very scenic train ride that halts at Bennet lake.

And then to Whitehorse and further on by car to Kluane National park in the Yukon district. Whitehorse is situated at the border of the Yukon. From there I flew back to Vancouver, rented a car, and traveled three weeks in the BC- and Alberta Rockies, visiting the famous, and less famous Nature parks like Banff and Jasper. Last few days back to Brighton Ontario to enjoy lake Ontario once more, before going home. A picture of my itinerary can be found on Facebook (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152940536581759&set...).
