Stampeding to Calgary

Today we left our cabin and set off along the Trans-Canada Highway from Jasper to Banff.
On the way we stopped off at the Icefields Parkway by the Athabasca Glacier. We bought tickets and we taken, first by bus, and then by a heavy duty truck up part of the glacier. We were able to spend 20 minutes walking around on the ice before we returned to base.
Our journey was constantly interrupted as we saw wildlife or glorious views and had to stop to get a picture. We did see a bear and cub but they were hidden by dense undergrowth and I couldn't get a good picture.
The journey finish when we arrived at our friend's house in Cochane, just outside Calgary.
We will be up early tomorrow to ensure good seats at the opening parade of the Stampede.
