Jasper National Park and Banff National Park

We stayed at a KOA campground near Jasper, Alberta. As we were leaving we spotted several elk along the roadside.

We came upon several cars parked and people with their cameras. As we went by I spotted the attraction. There were 2 moose in the rear of this beautiful lake. They just look like dots, but they were there.
 

We took the "Icefield Parkway" to Calgary. There were literally hundreds of glaciers on the Columbia Icefield. This area was called the finger glaciers.

Some of the largest glaciers in Canada were on the Icefield Parkway.

I took so many pictures. This glacier was so beautiful.

Another one of the finger glaciers. This one had buses driving on it loaded with tourists.

I wish I could have gotten a better picture of Bow Lake. I tried to catch the reflection. It was awesome to see.

On our way from Lake Louise and Banff, there were several of these tunnels. They were constructed of stone, sod and trees. There purpose is to allow animals to cross over. Eleven species of large animals use these passes.
